Macerate Apples

  • Note - macerating apples means tossing them with sugar and letting them sit before baking. This draws out excess moisture from the apples which is then drained. This process helps control the moisture level and results in firmer pie slices.
  • Peel, core and slice apples into ¼" slices.
    3 lbs Apples, cored and peeled

    ½ Cup Granulated Sugar
