Equipment
- 2-2½ quart baking dish **my baking dish is 11.5x7.5 inches
Ingredients
- 8 medium baking apples **I use Granny Smith
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ginger
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup butter **1 cube
- 2 pie crusts
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Topping
- ½ cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°.
- Peel, slice and cut up apples. I cut the slices into 1-1½ inch pieces. Sprinkle with 2 tsp lemon juice and mix to cover the apples.
- In large bowl mix together ½ cup maple syrup, brown sugar, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt.
- Add in apples and mix well until all the apples are coated.
- Roll a pie crust into the shape of the baking dish you are using.Place crust into the baking dish and use hands to press it up the sides and a little over the edges.
- Pour in apples and use a spatula to scrap in all the syrup.
- Cut the butter into small cubes and place evenly over the apples.
- Roll out the top crust and place over the top. Tuck the edges into the sides of the pan. Use a knife to slice 3 vents on top.
- Brush the milk onto the top. Sprinkle with sugar and then cinnamon.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and crispy.
- Remove from oven. Use a spatula to break up the crust into about 2 inch pieces. Then use the spatula to gently push the pieces down into the apples allowing the syrup to cover the crust pieces.
- Pour ½ cup maple syrup over the top. Allow to sit for 30 minutes.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
