Classic apple pie (Pie de manzanas clásico)

If among my favorite recipes have been pies, I love them, especially with fruits, but one of my favorites is apples's pie.

If you know me  by a while  you can see that I have made several apple's pies, but always one finds something new, the filling, the fruit or the texture.


This apple pie is a classic, from the scrumptions filling to the Double Crust Pastry.
It's homemade goodness at its very best.

Roll out the rest of the pastry and lay it over the top.
 Trim away any excess and crimp to seal. Make a hole in the centre for the steam to escape.
