Ingredients

Filling

  • 6 large Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and ½” diced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ cup whole milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 10” pie dish or 9x13 baking dish.
  • For the filling, add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and toss to coat evenly. Transfer the filling to the prepared dish. Set aside.
    6 large Granny Smith apples, Juice of 1 lemon, ¼ cup unsalted butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon powdered ginger
