Apple pie is a popular dessert with apples as the main filling. It's commonly served with whipped cream, ice cream, custard, or cheddar cheese. Typically, it has a double crust, with pastry covering both the top and bottom of the filling. The top crust can be either solid or latticed, while the bottom crust may be pre-baked to prevent sogginess. A notable exception is Tarte Tatin, which is baked with the crust on top and then inverted for serving.
