INGREDIENTS

1

In a large mixing bowl, toss sliced apples in lemon juice. Mix in brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

2

Spread the apples in a square baking pan. Mix vanilla extract and maple syrup and pour over the apples.

3

Dot with butter pieces.

4

Top with pie crust, tucking the sides down if there is any overhang.

5

For a sparkly crust appearance, brush crust with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

6

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned. Cut the crust into 9-12 squares. Push each square into the filling.

7

Reduce the oven to 350 F, return the pan to the oven, and bake for 30 more minutes or until the crust is nicely browned.
