Tips from the

Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Lining the pan with cooking parchment paper helps with easy removal for serving pieces. Hold parchment liner in place by dabbing a small amount of shortening or softened butter on pan before placing parchment.
  • tip 2
    Substitute chopped apples in place of sliced apples for a different look.
  • tip 3
    Granny Smith or Braeburn apples are other varieties that may be substituted for the Honeycrisp.
