Notes
Use firm apples: Varieties like Granny Smith or Braeburn hold their shape best.
Slice evenly: Thin, uniform apple slices ensure even baking.
Cool completely: Allow the pie to cool, as this will firm it up for tidier slices. If you slice it while hot, it will be runny.
Soften butter correctly: Butter for the streusel should be soft for the best crumb. Don't use melted butter, just bring it to room temperature.
