I’m telling you right now, you’ve never had an apple pie as delicious as this one. The apple juices are cooked down into a simple caramel that coats the tender cinnamon-spiced apple slices before being baked inside a perfectly flaky crust. Store-bought pies have nothing on this from-scratch beauty.
