We really love apple pie and especially when it is freshly baked from the oven and it is still a little hot. In Denmark the apple season is in the autumn – this is the time of year where the apples have spent the entire summer licking sun and growing big and juicy.

What variety of apples do you use? They don’t look like traditional British cooking apples.

I normally use Belle de Booskop or Cox Orange apples. The best type of apples are the ones that have a sour taste.
