Description: For this pie we started with fresh local Jonagold Apples from Sunny Spot Farm in Bonnington. We wanted to showcase the bright floral notes of the apples so we only added a touch of sugar and a splash of lemon juice. 

For the Shortbread Cookie Crust we chose our locally-grown, organic Red Fife flour for its wonderful nutty flavour. We mill the grain right before we use it and leave it unsifted, making it 100% whole wheat. This ensures maximum flavour and freshness. We then incorporated butter and organic sugar and rolled it out into a beautiful pie crust. It's sweet, just like a shortbread cookie, but with a buttery flakey texture.

The crumble topping is a mixture of brown sugar, cinnamon, old-fashion oats, Red Fife flour, melted butter and a hint of salt to balance out the sweetness of the apple filling. The chewy oats and caramelized brown sugar give the pie layers of texture that make every bite a magical experience.

The final result is an elegant apple pie with a myriad of flavours and textures that will have your family begging for another slice!
