Pro Tips
Use tart apples – Granny Smith holds up best.
Prevent sogginess – Toss apples with cornstarch right before filling.
Go free-form – No pie dish needed—just a baking sheet!
Reheat leftovers – Crisp in the oven at 350°F for 10 mins.
Forget fussy lattice crusts—this “flat” apple pie is all about buttery, caramelized apples piled onto a single flaky crust, baked until golden and bubbling. It’s easier than traditional pie but just as delicious, with extra crispy edges and tender spiced apples in every bite.Baking
