Delicious Apple Pie Recipe

Apple pie is a part of almost all American Traditions. It has, in a way, become a tradition itself. It is what brings families around the table for dessert after a good, Thanksgiving meal. It is the fragrant aroma that fills Grandma’s kitchen the night of Christmas Eve.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
