Apple pie - online puzzles

An apple pie is a pie or a tart, in which the principal filling ingredient is apple. It is, on occasion, served with whipped cream or ice cream on top, (which is known as apple pie a la mode), or alongside cheddar cheese. The pastry is generally used top-and-bottom, making it a double-crust pie ; the upper crust may be a circular or a pastry lattice woven of crosswise strips. Depending on the baker 's preference, the bottom of the double-crust may be baked first (before baking the whole pie ) to prevent the bottom from getting soggy. Exceptions are deep- dish apple pie, with a top crust only, and open- face Tarte Tatin. The apple pie is one of the United States ' signature comfort foods.
