As fall begins to wind down into, I often find myself with a few extra apples. I usually go to an apple orchard at some point in the early fall, and decide to get a box or two of apples. But that also usually means that I have some apples that are starting to get a little bit soft 6-8 weeks later.
This recipe is a delicious way to use up a few apples and it’s a crowd pleaser if I’m having people over for dinner or a game night.
It is especially nice if you serve it warm, right from the oven, with a little vanilla ice cream on the side. I mean, just look at that.
That said, if you have leftovers, it’s also quite delicious chilled out of the fridge, just like any other fruit pie.
