An apple pie is a fruit pie (or tart) in which the principal filling ingredient is apples. It is sometimes served with whipped cream or ice cream on top. Pastry is generally used top-and-bottom, making it a double-crust pie, the upper crust of which may be a circular shaped crust or a pastry lattice woven of strips; exceptions are deep-dish apple pie with a top crust only, and open-face Tarte Tatin.
Cooking apples (culinary apples), such as the Bramley or Granny Smith, are crisp and acidic. The fruit for the pie can be fresh, canned, or reconstituted from dried apples. This affects the final texture, and the length of cooking time required; whether it has an effect on the flavour of the pie is a matter of opinion. Dried or preserved apples were originally substituted only at times when fresh fruit was unavailable. A piece of cheese is occasionally placed on top of or alongside a slice of the finished pie, particularly in Canada and Great Britain.[citation needed]
English apple pie recipes go back to the time of Chaucer. The 1381 recipe (see illustration at right) lists the ingredients as good apples, good spices, figs, raisins and pears. The cofyn of the recipe is a casing of pastry. Saffron is used for colouring the pie filling.
[Verse 1:]
I remember when met you back in June
Knew you had a man, but I was diggin' you
I behaved patiently, waiting for you to come running to me (ooh yeah...)
Now we're in July, hanging everyday
Sex is on my mind, cuz you're next to me
I've been a gentleman, now it's time to let a n***a get in (ooh lady...)
[Chorus:]
Why... should I... give myself to you
I think it's too soon
So girl I'm just not your average guy
C'mon break me a piece of your apple pie
And if... I do... then tell me just what will I get from you
Oh, girl I'm a man with a hearty appetite
C'mon break me a piece and you will see tonight
[Verse 2:]
Girl it's been a while, and I'm hungry now
Know you want me to, why you holdin' out
I gonna be good to you (I wanna be good to you)
I'mma do the things your man couldn't do (lady.)
What's it gonna be, no more questionin'
Ass is tease me, patience running thin
I know you're trynna take your time
But that apple pie is bound to be mine (ooh lady...)
[Chorus:]
Why... should I... give myself to you
I think it's too soon
So girl I'm just not your average guy
C'mon break me a piece of your apple pie
And if... I do... then tell me just what will I get from you
Oh, girl I'm a man with a hearty appetite
C'mon break me a piece and you will see tonight
So tell me what do I need to do to get a taste from you
Won't you come and lay down with me and make yourself comfortable
Your booty's looking right, enough to fill my appetite
Don't put up a fight, baby let me come inside
For that apple pie
It's bound to make me lose my mind
So c'mon baby...
[Chorus:]
Why... should I... give myself to you
I think it's too soon
So girl I'm just not your average guy
C'mon break me a piece of your apple pie
And if... I do... then tell me just what will I get from you
Oh, girl I'm a man with a hearty appetite
C'mon break me a piece and you will see tonight
[Bridge:]
Break me off a piece of your apple pie girl
Break me off a piece of that apple pie girl
Break me off a piece of your apple pie girl
Break me off a piece of that apple pie girl
Said I'm taking off those clothes tonight...
APPLE PIE

Lyrics by Dave Alvin
Walkin' through the ghetto on a Sunday afternoon
Now I was graced by beauty
Caught it shinin' off the moon
But I saw her and she saw me
Then we got together respectively
No, she was talking about love love love
Talk about, now I'm talkin' 'bout love
Now boppin' to the left of me and boppin' to the right
I bopped that mama so damn good
I knocked the nasty out of sight
I said, "Hey, little girl, who do you dig?"
Said, "Any kinda lover wants to pay for my crib."
No, she was talkin' 'bout love love love
Talk about, just talkin' 'bout love
My my my, to taste is to die
You’re gonna taste like apple pie
Oh let me tell you another thing or two
You're gonna taste like apple pie
Now April was the season and it also was her name
I had that girl so deep in check that I soon forgot her name
Could it be June or could it be May?
Does it really make a difference when she walks that way?
Just talkin' 'bout love, love, love
I'm talkin' 'bout, just talkin' 'bout love
My my my, to taste is to die,
You're gonna taste like apple pie
Oh let me tell you another thing or two
You're gonna taste like apple pie
Here we go
Gonna take a piece right out of the sky
Well now April was the season and it also was her name
Had the girl so deep in check that I soon forgot her name
Could it be June or could it be May?
Does it really make a difference when she walks that way?
Oh, honey, I'm talkin' 'bout love
I'm talkin' 'bout, I'm talkin' 'bout love
My my my, to taste is to die
You're gonna taste like apple pie
Oh let me tell you another thing or two
You're gonna taste like apple pie
Speed it up
Oh let me tell you another thing or two
You're gonna taste like apple pie
Oh let me tell you another thing or two
You're gonna taste like apple pie
----------------------------------
I'm the life of the party, I'm always smiling
On the surface I'm as happy as can be
And I don't watch the news and I don't read the papers
And I don't like chicken soup for the soul
Do you wanna share my applie pie?
I don't understand why people cry
Try to just all get along
Everybody, come on
When things get heavy I'll change the subject
And I'll talk about ice cream and teddy bears
Everytime you tell me about your problems
I get rigid and scared and I shut off
Do you wanna share my applie pie?
I don't understand why people cry
Try to just all get along
Everybody, come on
I've never been sad
'Cause of lack of emotion I'm very, very glad
I've never been real
'Cause my armour means I never have to feel
Do you wanna share my applie pie?
I don't understand why people cry
Try to just all get along
Everybody, come on
I don't dig confrontation, I keep my mouth shut
But I lie to save my own ass
People talk of politics and people talk of war
And I don't know why they're so upset
Uh-uh
Do you wanna share my applie pie?
I don't understand why people cry
Try to just all get along
Everybody, come on
Everybody, come on
