Nonna’s legendary apple pie filling and glaze is here for the world to enjoy! Since the 1970s, my mom has been the master who perfected this recipe, wanting to make something special and very American to celebrate me – her babygirl who was born just hours before our nation’s Bicentennial. Born and raised in Italy, she figured, ‘what could be more good and American, then a homemade apple pie?!’ To be loved so much and to be linked to this amazing woman and her food is a gift.
