Tips

• Vary the size of the slices- I like to vary the size of slices between 1/8 to 1/4 inch
• Use a variety of apples
• Double or triple the recipe and freeze the filling- it will last up to 6 months
• This is enough filling for 2 9-inch pies or 1 deep dish 10-inch pie:)
• Do not over mix your crumb topping and if you have time, throw it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before putting on the pie and baking.
