Apple pie is a traditional dessert with roots in European cuisine, particularly England and the Netherlands, though it has become synonymous with American culture. The filling is typically made from fresh apples—often tart varieties like Granny Smith—combined with sugar, cinnamon, and sometimes nutmeg or lemon juice for flavor. The crust is usually a butter-based pastry, which can be topped with lattice designs or crumble. Apple pie provides dietary fiber from the apples, along with vitamins like vitamin C and antioxidants found in the fruit. However, it is often high in added sugars and saturated fats, particularly in commercial versions. Homemade or modified recipes can reduce sugar content and use whole-grain crusts for a healthier alternative. Whether served warm or cold, plain or with vanilla ice cream, apple pie is a comforting treat enjoyed in many countries worldwide.
