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 Zonin Prosecco with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.
Zonin Prosecco
Zonin Prosecco
Gold Medal Winner: 2014 Los Angeles International Wine CompetitionVery well-balanced and appealing, with the extremely delicate almond note that is typical of Prosecco. An excellent aperitif, it can also be served throughout the meal - including dessert - as long as the dishes are not too strongly flavored.
