Apple Filling: Begin the culinary journey by selecting a mix of medium-sized apples, artfully peeled, cored, and sliced to perfection.

A generously greased deep-dish pie plate or a 9×9-inch baking dish sets the stage for the symphony of flavors. Once the apple filling is nestled in, expertly sprinkle the crisp topping, ensuring an even distribution for a visually stunning presentation.
