Definition of Apple Pie

Apple pie is a type of dessert pie made with a pastry crust and filled with sweetened apples. The apples are typically peeled, cored, and sliced, and are then mixed with sugar, flour, and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The mixture is then placed into the pie crust and topped with another crust, which is often latticed. The pie is then baked in an oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Apple pie is a traditional dessert in the United States and is often served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top
