Dutch Crumb Apple Pie-- Szarlotka (Polish)
In late fall, my mother would visit our neighbors, the Geraks, and bring home a half bushel of apples from the apple trees in their backyard. I remember them as small, tart, and it took a lot of peeling and cutting to get enough to make a pie, but what wonderful pies they were. In Poland they serve a version of apple pie called Szarlotka. My recipe won't be the easiest apple pie you have ever made, but it will look beautiful and be mighty tasty! (I've even given you an idea for making refrigerated pie crusts taste better!)

So one big difference in my version of a Polish apple pie is the sugar. Traditionally polish apple pies have very little or no sugar added, and it lets the natural apple flavor shine through.

European-Style Woven Apple Pie European-Style Woven Apple Pie
-A Warm, Handcrafted Sweet Pie-As the cold front arrives with its drizzly weather, the bright red apples suddenly become appetizing. This handmade woven apple pie features a filling made with carefully selected Korean Fuji apples. The delicate and crisp apple flesh, combined with Japanese granulated sugar, cinnamon, and fresh yellow lemon, creates a sweet yet not overwhelming texture. The crust, made with local flour, French fermented unsalted butter, and freshly ground rose salt, offers a buttery, savory flavor. Fresh out of the oven, it has a hot, crispy texture, and even after chilling, it remains flaky and doesn't become soggy.In the cold spring, brew a cup of hot coffee and enjoy it with a warm woven apple pie while leaning by the window, admiring the beauty of the drizzling rain.
