Forget pre-cooking apples for your pie, maceration is the secret to a thick, juicy filling.
This technique draws out the apple juice, creating a concentrated syrup that adds extra flavor.
Simply combine sliced apples, brown sugar, spices, and a touch of tapioca starch in a bag and let them sit.
The result is a flawless apple pie with a perfectly textured filling that you'll want to make again and again.
