In cooking, an apple pie is a fruit pie (or tart) in which the principal filling ingredient is apples (Cooking Apples). Pastry is generally used top-and-bottom, making a double-crust pie, the upper crust of which may be a pastry lattice woven of strips; exceptions are deep-dish apple pie with a top crust only, and open-face Tarte Tatin.
Ingredients
Cooking apples (culinary apples, colloquially cookers), such as the Bramley or Granny Smith, are crisp and acidic. The fruit for the pie can be fresh, canned, or reconstituted from dried apples. This affects the final texture, and the length of cooking time required; whether it has an effect on the flavour of the pie is a matter of opinion. Dried or preserved apples were originally substituted only at times when fresh fruit was unavailable.
Yummy yummy!
Although many so-called "people" can say that they are "allergic" or "scared" of apple pie, I believe they they are lying. I mean, come on. Apple pie is just so damn good!
These people that say they are "allergic" are lying. Most of these people are just retarded... Haven't you ever seen American Pie?
>_>
You cannot be allergic to apple pie, since it is impossible to do so.
My reasoning: ummm, because it is made of baked goods, using ingredients.
You can be allergic to the ingredients, but not the pie itself.
So take that!
By the way, apple pie tastes real good, and is worth eating, so all of you who have never tried it, need to do so. Other links:

Ways to help make a pie look more desirable than it already is...
1. Put excessive amounts of whipped cream on top of the pie until you can no longer see the slice
2. Put some other kind of fruit topping on top
3. Starve yourself by laying a piece of pie in front of yourself and not eating anything for a 24 hour period.
4. Starve friends or family, then stare at them as you eat a slice of pie in front them (make sure to make it look as good as possible but exerting lots of Oh's, Yes's and Ah's as you devour the slice).
5. Put your favorite type of ice cream on top of the slice, or next to it.
6. Just look at the pie for a while, and without noticing it, you have probably already eaten it!
7. Watch your favorite actor or singer or person eating it.
8. This isn't really a way, but just jump on the bandwagon of eople who love pie.
9. When it is free, it most often looks more desirable than other things.
10. Add some tasty cunt juice for more flavor.

Dutch style
Dutch apple pie (appeltaart or appelgebak) recipes go back a long way. Dutch recipes typically also call for flavourings such as cinnamon and lemon juice to be added, and Dutch apple pies are usually decorated in a lattice style. Dutch apple pies contain the regular ingredients plus others including raisins and icing.
Apple pie in American culture
In the English colonies the apple pie had to wait for carefully planted pips, brought in barrels across the Atlantic, to become fruit-bearing apple trees, to be selected for their cooking qualities, as apples do not come true from seeds. In the meantime, the colonists were more likely to make their pies, or "pasties", of meat rather than of fruit; and the main use for apples, once they were available, was in cider. But there are American apple-pie recipes, both manuscript and printed, from the eighteenth century, and it has since become a very popular dessert.
A mock apple pie made from crackers was apparently invented by pioneers on the move during the nineteenth century who were bereft of apples. In the 1930s, and for many years afterwards, Ritz Crackers promoted a recipe for mock apple pie using its product, along with sugar and various spices.
Although apple pies have been eaten since long before the discovery of America, "as American as apple pie" is a common saying in the United States, meaning "typically American". The dish was also commemorated in the phrase "for mom and apple pie" - supposedly the stock answer of soldiers in WWII, whenever journalists asked why they were going to war.
Advertisers exploited the patriotic connection in the 1970s with the TV jingle "baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet". There are claims that the Apple Marketing Board of New York State used such slogans as "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" and "as American as apple pie!", and thus "was able to successfully 'rehabilitate' the apple as a popular comestible" in the early twentieth century when prohibition outlawed the production of cider.
An apple pie was also the subject of a running gag throughout the movie American Pie, where Jason Biggs' character masturbates with a "homemade American apple pie".
Other meanings of "Apple pie"
- An "apple-pie bed" is one which has been short-sheeted as a prank. May be so-called because the sheets are doubled over "like the cover of an apple turnover."
- "Apple-pie order" meaning to be tidy and in good order, may not refer to the pastry at all, but may be a juncture loss of the French nappes pliées, "neatly folded linen."
