CookbookApple pie

Apple pie, that classic desert that everybody loves. Just by following the simple recipes we can create a huge variety of delicious apple pies!

Apple pie is one of the oldest desserts in the history of baking. In about 1380 A.D. the English started baking apple pie using some unusual ingredients such as saffron and sugar substitutes. The Dutch and Swedes also started making apple pie at around the same time, but in different ways.

Although today we know an apple pie as a cake with apples it was not always so. Medieval recipes talked about adding or even replacement of apples by pears and apricots. In the European cuisine also other desserts were called apple pies, for example with apples baked in a form lined with croutons and sometimes biscuits, served warm.

Each of six recipes we collected in GOAL project is different, although main ingredients are the same: apples, flour, sugar, eggs and butter. An apple pie is a good example of a motto of the European Union: In varietate Concordia.
