Notes
- Granny Smith apples are the best for baking, but you can use any apple.
- If you don't have apple pie spice on hand you can make your own spice blend. 3 tablespoons cinnamon, 2 teaspoons nutmeg, 1 teaspoon cardamom, 1 teaspoon allspice. Mix it together and store in a sealed container or old spice jar.
