Old-fashioned apple pie recipe

Old-fashioned apple pie recipe

A classic that is always very successful ... a "rustic" almond tart with large pieces of apples, a good homemade shortbread with almonds, and a little background of almond cream! I advise you to use Golden apples, a crunchy, sweet and sweet variety, perfect for a pie!

List of ingredients

250 g soft butter
2 eggs
500 g flour
Salt
80 g almond powder
50 g normal sugar
100 g icing sugar
