Mum’s Apple Pie


Growing up, my mom did not do much of the cooking in our house. She did however make a few things that is very dear to me. Living in a different country, I do not get to spend too many of my Mom’s birthdays with her, but this year she is visiting me on her birthday. So, in honor of my Mom, this month, I will be posting two of my favourite recipes of hers. The first one is her Apple Pie. Our family loves this and makes it very often as a comforting and indulgent baked desert. Great with ice cream or custard and the longer it stands the better it gets.
