Summary

All American apple pie but the recipe comes from my Italian mother. My mom has been making this apple pie for years and years. She got the recipe from my grandmother and although it is absolutely delicious it is surprisingly so easy to make.

I have made two videos for this apple pie, one with the peel on the apple and one removing the peel from the apple before adding it to the pie. Both incredibly delicious however I must say I absolutely love the pie with the apple peels on, it gives it such an amazing taste and texture. You can make it either way but just be sure that you make it.
