Is it apple? It’s beautiful.
Yes indeed! I like to use Mutsu (Crispin) apples, I mix in dried cranberries or dried cherries, and I add about a tablespoon of instant tapioca to soak up the juice that comes out of the apples as they cook, so it keeps it from getting soggy.
Before I put the top crust on, I put six thin pats of butter on top of the apples.
And I brush the top crust with a beaten egg before baking it.
I made my mom show me how to make them before she passed on, because when she gave you a recipe,she always left some things out...when I make them, I always think of her...:)
