No autumn without apple pie, lit candles and cozy moments at home

For us there's no autumn without apple pie and this is a recipe we love to do over and over again☺️  I even remember where I found it; I was reading a magazine while waiting for the dentist.

A dish we love and make again and again!

  Detta är en rätt som vi i vår familj älskar och därför har den också blivit en ständig favorit i repris. Om jag inte minns fel så är det ett recept som Fredrik Eriksson - han som idag bland annat driver restaurangen på nyrenoverade Nationalmuseum - gjorde för många år sedan i något matprogram för TV, då han sände från ett utekök i Italien. Detta är verkligen medelhavsmat när den är som bäst tycker vi! Har fått många förfrågningar om receptet när jag lade upp bilden på mitt Instagram - så här nedan ser ni det. Så enkelt och...
