Recipe Notes
1.) Make sure your apples completely fill the pie plate and almost form a small mound. When the apples are cooking they will sink a bit.2.) If you don't want to make a lattice crust you can simply place another rolled-out disk to fit a 9-inch pie form and place it on top of the apples. Be sure to cut slits into the pie crust for steam vents.3.) Whole cane sugar can be substituted with white sugar. Use ⅔ of a cup of white sugar then.4.) Whole Wheat Flour can easily be substituted with all-purpose flour, spelt flour, or your favorite gluten-free flour mix.
