Apple Pie Amamela is a stunning dessert with apples. It’s not the usual pie; besides the crumbly shortcrust pastry, it has a delightful filling. The fragrant apples are flavored with jam, but what makes it unique is the addition of amaretti. These give this pie a unique flavor and provide a creamy texture to the filling.
