Apple pie is a classic American dessert that has been enjoyed for generations. It is typically made with a flaky pastry crust filled with sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The apples are usually cooked until they are soft and tender, and the crust is golden brown. Apple pie is often served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll out one sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  5. Roll out the remaining sheet of puff pastry and cut into 12 strips. Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern over the apple filling.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
