Öpfelwähie traditionell Schweizerisch!

Öpfelwähie – Apple Pie traditional Swiss!

Pane-Bistecca
One of the most typical and traditional Swiss dishes is the Swiss apple pie. I know it from my earliest childhood where we had apple pie on Fridays for snack.

But the most wonderful apple pie I ever had was the one of my, at that time future husband’s grandmother. Yes, it’s a while ago. We were invited to coffee at the grandparents’ home; I should be introduced to the family. I don’t have to mention that they liked me, as I am now married to that same man for an eternity. At that coffee afternoon I had my first bite of this amazing apple pie!!!!!

Sadly I did not get a recipe, but I tried my own. This recipe takes part at the Culinary World travel event from Volkermampft which collects Desserts from all around the world.
