Lattice Apple Pie prepared this way is an all time classic. Sour cream adds a special flavor. Perfection at it's peak !

The holidays are gone, the fruits’ and vegetables’ reserves are still to be found and we all tend to make simple dishes after decadent days are gone.


This is an all time classic and I am sure that every house has it’s own way of making the pie. Just like you make the coffee to have it as you like it. Take a look at the dough ingredients for this one: sour cream really improves the texture and the flavor. Instead, you can use the same amount of yogurt but it makes a dough a bit dry and, while baking, it soaks the apple nectar and the result is not the same as if you would use the sour cream.

I have also made an experiment: there are many of you taking photographs of the cake bars on the top of your favorite coffee mugs so I have done it as well to see if I can do it and am specially proud to see it works for me as well 🙂
