Maple Apple Pie

This apple pie is a warm, comforting twist on a classic, made with simple, thoughtful ingredients that let the natural flavors shine. The sweet Gala apples are gently spiced and naturally sweetened with pure maple syrup, bringing a deep, caramel-like richness without relying on refined sugar. The crust is tender and lightly crisp, crafted with apple cider and olive oil for a smooth, wholesome finish. Together, these elements create a pie that tastes familiar yet thoughtfully reimagined and is cozy, balanced, and perfect for sharing around the table.
