What’s better than fresh apple pie? The sweet pastry is an absolute classic, and the quick version from the microwave is particularly fluffy and light. Prepared in just three minutes, the delicious pastries are ready to eat and can be enjoyed while still warm. The recipe.
The cinnamon-fruity scent of Apple pie truly awakens feelings and memories of home – of warm summer days in grandma’s garden or cozy autumn evenings at home on the sofa, always with a piece of the juicy “all-time favorite” in your hand.
Apple pie is one of the most popular cakes worldwide – and has been for more than six centuries. Even though it is often assumed that the “apple pie” comes from the USA, the dish’s true origins are in Europe, more precisely in England in the 15th century. The apple pie was first mentioned in 1590, when the British dramatist Robert Greene provided the first written, truly poetic evidence of the pastry with “Your breath is like the smell of apple pie.” To this day, apple pie primarily evokes positive emotions – the scent of the sweet dish alone brings back childhood memories and conveys a feeling of security and home.
Quick enjoyment from the cup
There are now almost countless variations of the sweet pastry, even Wikipedia defines apple pie as a “generic term for all fine baked goods that contain apples as the eponymous ingredient.” The range ranges from covered to sunken to strudeld apple pie, and includes a Swedish recipe, a French one, the “Classic American Pie” or an old German version – to name just a few. And even though the grandmothers of the world will probably widen their eyes in horror at the idea of a microwave apple pie, this recipe is definitely worth a try and, thanks to the apple as the “name-giving ingredient,” has officially earned its right to exist on the list of apple pies .
