If you’re searching for the perfect apple pie recipe you might be surprised to find so many different versions. Some bakers recommend one type of apple while others suggest a totally different type. I prefer soft apples such as McIntosh, which most bakers frown upon. Then we have the spices that are usually different in every single apple pie recipe you look at. The key is to find the recipe that meets your expectations. Quick and Easy apple pies usually include canned pie filling. “Labor of Love” apple pies take hours to perfect.

Apple is the single most favorite pie in the United States, followed closely by pumpkin. Apple pie became tied to American culture as early as the 1800s, when the phrase “as American as apple pie” emerged. Immigrants brought pie-making traditions, and apples were abundant, inexpensive, and easy to store. Over time, apple pie became a symbol of: home, comfort, family, tradition, and patriotism.
