This Apple Pie is a simple and tasty recipe, a good alternative as a dessert or to accompany your tea or coffee.
If you are a fan of cakes, this will not leave you indifferent, and even more if you like the classic Lemon Pie, this alternative with apples will also please you. The only problem is that this perhaps can cause a little addiction.
For this recipe you can utilize any apple variety and there is no need for any previous cooking. It will only be enough to peel and grate the apples.
For this Apple Pie, I recommend a Swiss meringue, it is easy to make, you just have to have patience and ideally a mixer, because doing it by hand will take too long to achieve the perfect consistency.
If you really like cinnamon, you can also add 1/2 more teaspoon.
