Classic apple pie (Pie de manzanas clásico)

If among my favorite recipes have been pies, I love them, especially with fruits, but one of my favorites is apples's pie.

If you know me by a while you can see that I have made several apple's pies, but always one finds something new, the filling, the fruit or the texture.

This apple pie is a classic, from the scrumptions filling to the Double Crust Pastry.
It's homemade goodness at its very best.
