TIPS

• they sell precut apples now all you'll have to do is peel them (makes it kind of easy for you)
• You can make your own pie crust but again they sell it so you don't have to 
• Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream 
• You can really just eat the apples warm with the sauce if you really wanted to.... I did
