FRESH BAKED HAND APPLE PIES

My love for pastries is a very well known fact. There is just something about walking into a nice bakery ( or a home) where the sweet smells of baked goods rise up to greet you.  The mix of sweet flavors, buttery crusts, and sugared coatings are the best parts of baking.

Apple pie is a staple of baking. It carries with its sweetness the homemade feel we all long for in baking. As you eat it you’re immediately transported to a place of relaxation and peace where all that matters is put on hold and you simply enjoy the moment.
