Sharon's Apple Pie
This is one of the first bakes I learned how to make as a young wife. Baking for the first time in my own kitchen. Hosting my family and friends. It was a great success!
I have made this apple pie so many times since, that I almost know it by heart.
You could almost say it’s my signature cake. So sharing it today with you, makes me really extra excited. Wishing you all a great New Year, and may it be as sweet and beautiful as the memories I have with this recipe.

200 gr Unsalted Butter
1 cup Caster Sugar

22 gr. Vanilla Sugar
For the filling:
1 kg granny smith apples – peeled and cubed
1/2 cup Caster Sugar
1/4 cup Water
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
How to
