Apple pie is a traditional dessert made primarily from apples, sugar, and a pastry crust. The filling typically includes spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, which enhance the natural sweetness of the apples. It is often served warm and can be accompanied by vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. This dish has deep roots in American culture, symbolizing home and comfort. While many variations exist, the classic version features a top and bottom crust, with the apples baked until tender. Apple pie is often associated with celebrations and holidays, particularly Thanksgiving in the United States.
