Notes

To prep the apples:
  1. First, use an apple peeler to get all of the peeling off the apples.
  2. Next, cut apples using a slicer or a sharp knife. I like to also use a corer to get all the seeds out before dicing the apples into slices or cubes.
  3. In a medium bowl, pour a little lemon juice over the apples so they don't brown while you're assembling the rest of the recipe.
