Probably not a single fruit in the world has been awarded such an honor as an apple. It was also a matter of contention in the Garden of Eden, and led mankind to amazing discoveries, falling on Newton's head. It was used as a measure of many things, for example, a tomato was called a "golden apple", and potatoes - just a "damn". He was credited with fabulous youthful properties. It rode "on a silver platter" and told all secrets in Russian folk tales, and the evil stepmothers tried to get rid of the hated beauties, stepdaughters with his help ...
Researchers claim that the apple tree appeared in Asia Minor, from there moved to Palestine and Egypt, and only then spread around the world. But any intelligent person knows: the first apple tree was discovered in Eden, which means it has always been. Since ancient times in Russia there is a holiday of Apple Savior (or Holy Savior). Usually it occurs in late August - early September, when there is a traditional harvest of apples. And although he is not celebrated in the Emirates, and since September 1, the holy month of Ramadan for Muslims comes into its own, we think that the fragrant apple pie baked by our own hands will remind you of the “Indian summer”, distant childhood and will be enjoyed by those who holds the post during the day, and converses in the evening.
