Recommended wine: Late Harvest Riesling, Moscato Dasti, Prosecco

Apple Pie works really well with Late Harvest Riesling, Moscato d'Asti, and Prosecco. These dessert wines have the right amount of sweetness and light, fruity flavors that won't overpower apple pie. The Angel Late Harvest Riesling with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.
