Reimagining apple pie is like reimagining the wheel, right? You can shrink the size or play with the crust, but at the end of the day, apple pie is always going to be the same basic thing. That’s what we used to think, but then we saw this recipe from Martha Stewart’s Everyday Food. She takes inspiration from not only a traditional apple pie, but another classic apple treat. See if you can guess what it is, then watch to see if you’re correct!
