Apple Pie
There is nothing more homey, autumnal and American than a warm apple pie cooling on the kitchen counter. For making this traditional dessert, look for good baking apples, such as Mutsu, Pink Lady or Empire, then top each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or slices of sharp Cheddar cheese.
