The apple pie, the timeless dessert of grandma that everyone loves, each with their own recipe, and that we will never stop making. For me, one of the tastiest cakes, soft and delicious. The classic Italian Sunday dessert to end family meals, also ideal for breakfast or a snack, perhaps eaten while still warm… amazing with all its aroma!! This recipe is the traditional one, very simple and quick, but if you want, you can change some ingredients like replacing the butter with oil or not adding it at all and adding a jar of yogurt, or for those who don’t like milk, adding fruit juices, etc. It’s a very versatile and good cake even if you don’t follow the same ingredients. All that’s left is to try it and enjoy!!
