"With apple season right around the corner, you will want to hold on to this recipe to use up those apples fresh from the tree. There is nothing like the buttery bottom crust, with the cinnamon apple filling that is then topped with a delicious streusel that everyone loves! This recipe is simple, easy, and finger-licking good! Be sure to cut your apples all the same size. 1/4 inch thickness is the perfect thickness. Thinner apples become too mushy and thicker apples will not cook all the way through."
