This pie has a crispy outer part and soft fruit filling inside. While my pie was baking my house was filled with a nice aroma. It tasted really really awesome. Though I baked this for my cousin I ate 1/4 part of the pie hahaha....i loved it so much.

I used my basic short crust pastry dough (recipe here) to make this pie and the filling is so simple made with some sliced apples cinnamon powder and sugar. I made some leaves with leftover dough to make my pie more beautiful.it really worked.it's looking beautiful right :-)
