APPLE PIES Meaning and
Definition
-
Apple pies are a type of baked dessert made primarily with apples as the main ingredient. The dish typically consists of a sweet filling made with sliced or diced apples, sugar, spices (such as cinnamon or nutmeg), and sometimes butter, lemon juice, or vanilla extract. The filling is then enclosed in a pastry crust, either as a single or double crust. The crust is usually made from a mixture of flour, fat (such as butter or lard), water, and salt. It can be a flaky, buttery crust or a more firm and crumbly crust, depending on the recipe and personal preference.
Apple pies are traditionally associated with American cuisine, although variations of apple pies can be found in many cultures around the world. The pies are often baked until the crust is golden brown and the filling is tender and bubbling. Served hot or warm, apple pies are commonly enjoyed as a comforting and indulgent dessert, often paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Whether homemade or store-bought, apple pies are a classic dessert beloved for their combination of sweet, tart, and warm flavors. They evoke feelings of nostalgia and are particularly popular during fall and winter months when apples are in season. The aroma of freshly baked apple pies filling a room is often associated with the cozy and welcoming atmosphere of homemade cooking.

Etymology of APPLE PIES
The word "apple pies" primarily consists of two parts: "apple" and "pies".
- Apple: The word "apple" comes from the Old English word "æppel", which can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "aplaz". This word eventually evolved into "apple" in Middle English.
- Pies: The word "pies" has its origins in the Middle English word "pye" or "pie", which referred to a type of pastry or baked dish. The term "pie" is believed to have been derived from the Latin word "pīca", which refers to a magpie bird. The reason behind this association is unclear, but some theories suggest that the pattern of ingredients atop a pie crust reminded people of the patchwork appearance of a magpie's feathers.
