Can I add one general tip for any apple pie recipe, from my own experience?





Pile the apples much higher than you think you should. They shrink terribly when cooked, and apples piled flush with the top of the pan will be a sinkhole close to the bottom of the pan after baking. Make a slight mounded up overfill of apple filling.
