Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Be sure to peel and core the apples before cooking them. This will help to remove any unwanted bitterness.
  • If you don't have any lemon juice, you can use vinegar instead. Just use half the amount of vinegar as you would lemon juice.
  • Don't overcook the apples. They should be soft but still hold their shape.
  • For a crispy crust, brush the top of the pie with milk before baking.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set.
