It does not take snow-covered fields and chilling-cold temperatures to enjoy our baked apple pie. We enjoy the fruity culinary delights today and look forward to a delicious cake treat.

What do you like most about your baked apple? Spiked with marzipan or caramelized? We can not decide and embed our apples in a trilogy of caramel, cinnamon sugar and marzipan. A little tip: If you do not like raisins, replace them with dried cranberries or cherries.

Our apple compote - on a light and light sponge cake bottom and under a creamy sour cream - irresistible pie delights in autumn.

At least as delicious: apple pie with Florentine crumble.
