Notes
Substitutions:
- You can use any kind of baking apple! We prefer granny smiths, but it's really about whatever you like best!
- You can use store-bought or homemade boiled cider.
- Vegan butter can be used in place of regular butter to make this recipe vegan!
- Using a corer and peeler will make the prep a breeze! I highly recommend the one in the recipe card. I have used it for years and absolutely adore it!
- Try to find apples that are firm to the touch and have no bruises. This will provide a great texture with no sour tasting apples in your filling.
- Don't overcook the apples!
- You can chop the apples as thick or thin as you prefer.
