Free food & cooking tip: 1.2 kg sliced, starch, lemon, cinnamon (step 2 of 5 from "Apple Pie That Isn't Soup").

Peel if you hate peels. Slice even so they cook even. Toss with sugar, lemon, cinnamon, salt, 2–3 Tbsp cornstarch. If liquid pools, leave 2 Tbsp in the bowl — that is soup insurance.

Pile in the bottom crust slightly above the rim; apples cook down. Dot with 15 g butter if you like. Don't paint the bottom with egg 'to waterproof' and then underbake anyway.

You'll need

  • Holding apples
  • Starch in the toss
  • Not a juice lake
