Notes

This is a basic "bake" recipe. You can use other fruits, such as peaches in summer and pears.
I've added my usual roguechef twist with a shot of bourbon in the filling.  One can macerate the apples overnight for a more prominent taste infusion.  One can also add raisins for a taste/texture difference.
Where one can use a mix of apples, Granny Smith and Honeycrisp would be a mix of tart backing and sweet eating.  This provides a mix of tastes and textures.
