This recipe has been a family favorite since Collin was little. We love using fresh apples from the family orchard and making a big batch every Fall. Don’t forget a big scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and a caramel drizzle on top!

Cook's tips
- In place of all the separate spices, you can use 2 1/2 tsp apple pie spice
- This tastes great with store bought crust but homemade takes it to the next level
- Be careful when heating the liquid at the bottom of the apples, this burns quickly!
