Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.

  • Thinly slice four medium apples – I love Granny Smith.
  • In a medium pot, add apples, crushed pineapple, sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and one cup water. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, add cornstarch and remaining water. Mix and pour slowly into boiling filling. Stir until thickened.
