"To achieve a perfect taste balance of tart and sweet I suggest to use a mixture of sweet and tart apples, three large Gala and three large Granny Smith works well. See my pie pastry Kittencal's Buttery Flakey Pie Pastry"

Step 1

Spoon apple filling evenly into shell, then dot top with cold butter pieces.
Step 7
Top with the remaining crust. Seal and flute as desired.
