Catherine Bolton
: Not "fragranced", and depending on your audience, it's called allspice and not clove pepper in the United States. Quick googling gives me 900 hits for "clove pepper" in the UK but 511K for allspice ...

Granny Smith apple pie with bay leaf and clove
The only green apples I have ever known are Granny Smith and clove is commonly used in the US.
Peer comment(s):

Catherine Bolton
: No, not clove, as the italian would have said "chiodi di garofano" instead of "pepe garofanato". I would venture to guess that GS apples is right, but without being sure green apples is safer.

I though that clove was a type of pepper, I stand corrected.

It could just as well be an apple tart. Yum

Granny Smith apple pie with hints of bay leaf and allspice
This seems to be the best guess here.
You could also say "green apple pie" but the green apples are generally called Granny Smith. I believe that alloro is "bay leaf" (laurel) and "pepe garofanato" is allspice.
Good luck!

Or it could even be a cake! Show us the recipe... it might, uh, prove to be useful. For research purposes and all. Yeah, that's it. ;-)
