Recommended wine: Prosecco, Moscato Dasti, Late Harvest Riesling

Prosecco, Moscato d'Asti, and Late Harvest Riesling are great choices for Apple Pie. These dessert wines have the right amount of sweetness and light, fruity flavors that won't overpower apple pie. The Domaine Ravaut: Grand Cru Hautes Mourottes Pinot Noir Wine with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 79 dollars per bottle.

Domaine Ravaut: Grand Cru Hautes Mourottes Pinot Noir Wine

A reddish bronze tint reveals this wine's age, but it still has plenty of life. A deep, rich nose suggests ripe black cherries, clove, and cassis. After the wine has had time to breathe, it begins to reveal even more spice and fruit. Drinking beautifully now but likely to remain attractive through at least 2019.
