We love homemade apple pie. We've been making a modified version based on a recipe from an old of the Betty Crocker Cookbook I picked up at a yard sale before I got married what seems like a million years ago.

Classic Apple Pie Recipe

This post is written in partnership with CK Mondavi and Family. As always, all opinions are all my own.

Dessert is a favorite in our house. And I love that it can pair so easily with wine. We love pairing Classic Apple Pie with beautifully with a buttery, toasty Chardonnay like the one from CK Mondavi. If you're more of a red wine drinker, try the CK Mondavi Red Blend.
