Notes

  • Baking apples: Any baking apple will work in this recipe. Granny Smith apples are my favorite because they're a little tart which helps to balance out the sweetness of the filling.
  • Butter: I use salted butter in this recipe.
  • Brown sugar: Light brown sugar or dark brown sugar will work in this recipe.
  • Cinnamon: If you want to mix up the spices, use an equal amount of apple pie spice in place of the cinnamon.
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
