Note
For a crispier crust, brush the top with a light egg wash or plant-based milk before baking.
Golden Delicious apples hold their shape well but are sweet; if you prefer a tart contrast, mix in Granny Smith apples.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in a 350ðF oven for 10-15 minutes to restore texture.
Ensure the filling is thickened properly by allowing the pie to cool completely before slicing, as the cornstarch continues to set.
