Notes

Be sure to check Expert Tips and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe.

Note 1: Some of our favorite apples to choose from: Gala, Honey Crisp, Golden Delicious, Pink Lady, and Macintosh.

Note 2: I prefer no-sugar-added applesauce. If using applesauce with sugar, reduce the light brown sugar to 2 Tablespoons. Taste the filling and adjust the sugar if you prefer it sweeter.
