Packed with 6 1/2 pounds of fruit, this pome pastry has it all: a burnished, flaky crust and a bountiful magnitude of spiced filling. Pre-cooking the filling earlier baking the pastry guarantees that the apples volition beryllium fork-tender and that the finished pastry won’t beryllium excessively juicy. Granny Smith apples, which are tart, casual to find and clasp their signifier well, are recommended. If you usage different variety, you whitethorn request to navigator the filling for much oregon little time, depending connected however overmuch moisture the apples release.

For the tallest pie, usage a 9-inch pastry sheet that’s nary much than 1 1/2 inches deep.
