Additional details

  • Yield: one 9-inch pie
  • For best results, use a blend of apples with contrasting flavor profiles and degrees of acidity.
  • The apples should be sliced thin so they can lie close together. Thick slices have more air space between them. As they bake, the air space disappears and the apples sink lower in the pan leaving a gap between them and the top crust.
