Notes
Using tart Granny Smith apples works well with this recipe because the caramel is very sweet. Also using a mixture of different types of apples adds to the texture of your pie; some stay firm, and some soften while baking.You can also bake the crust for about 9 minutes prior to adding the apple filling.
