Almás pite

Almás pite is a traditional apple pie known for its rustic, homemade qualities. It typically consists of a buttery, flaky pastry that encases a sweetened apple mixture, usually flavored with cinnamon and sometimes lemon zest or vanilla. The apples are grated and mixed with sugar and spices, then sandwiched between layers of dough.

After baking, the pie develops a golden-brown crust and a juicy, fragrant apple filling. It’s often dusted with powdered sugar before serving and can be enjoyed warm or cold, sometimes accompanied by whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. Almás pite is a comforting, home-style dessert that is commonly made in Hungarian households, especially in the autumn when apples are in season.
