Notes
You can substitute Granny Smith apples with Honeycrisp or Fuji for a sweeter touch. For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter and milk. Prepare up to a day ahead; reheat before serving for best results. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If the top browns too quickly while baking, cover loosely with foil. For a thicker filling, toss apples with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.
