Australia is a pie-lovin' country, and no sweet pie tastes sweeter in the depths of a Melbourne winter quite like a homemade apple pie.

To get you in the baking-mood, here are some tips on making the perfect apple pie:
🍏 Save yourself from a mushy mess by using Granny Smith or Braeburn Apples. Their tart flavour and firm texture is the perfect combination for a crisp slice, every time.

🍏 It may seem counterintuitive but par-cooking your apples, either by stirring them in a pan on the stovetop pouring boiling water over them, will ensure the apple slices will hold their shape better when you bake them.

🍏 This is the hardest tip to follow but - let it rest! While the pie smells irresistible straight from the oven, letting the pie rest for at least 30 minutes will massively improve the flavour and texture. Good things really do come to those who wait!

Whether you're a green queen, or if you simply forgot your shopping bags at the front door, the $10 Preston Market bag is the tote-ally teriffic option for shoppers everywhere!
