Notes

  • You can use any type of apple for this recipe, but Granny Smith apples work well because they are tart and hold their shape when baked.
  • If the edges of the crust start to brown too quickly, you can cover them with foil to prevent burning.
  • You can use pie weights or dried beans to blind bake the bottom crust before adding the filling.
