The most delicious sweets, at least for my personal taste, are the simplest, those that have been preserved in tradition over the passing years.
The apple pie (and its smaller version, apple crumble) is one of the most known and appreciated desserts in the world. The history of this pastry has its roots in the period of World War II when, even in Britain, it was almost impossible to find sugar, butter and flour. The scarcity of certain essential ingredients made it difficult to prepare desserts like apple pie. For this, English cooks and housewives, found the crumble, with few ingredients available to them, to be very useful and delicious. Beneath this layer were the usual sweet apples.
With time, this iconic American and British dessert has become one of the most famous in the world and its recipe has been changed, so that today is also made with pears, rhubarb and raspberry. It is a typical autumn and winter comfort sweet, rich in energy, tasty and healthy.
