Classic Apple Pie

This classic apple pie is a great dessert to make ahead. You can freeze the uncooked pie, but don't brush it with egg or dust it with sugar beforehand. Place the pie in the freezer for 30 minutes, to harden it slightly, then double wrap it with plastic wrap. When ready to bake, unwrap the pie, brush it with egg and sprinkle with sugar.

Deep-Dish Vegan Apple Pie

Extra virgin coconut oil is a great substitute for butter in both the pie dough and the apple filling to make this all-American fruit pie vegan friendly.

Sauternes is a sweet dessert wine from France, prized for its complexity and depth of flavor.
