The most delicate Italian apple pie: little dough and lots of filling

Italian apple pie is extremely tender, and soft, and melts in your mouth. It contains a lot of apple filling, but very little flour, which makes the cake not too high in calories. The butter, which is poured on top of the cake, gives it a special flavor and creamy aroma.

Food blogger Iryna Lazun (iren.lazun) shared a recipe for Italian apple pie on her Instagram page.
