If you find your apples tend to shrink during baking, consider pre-baking or sautéing the apples to help them release some of their moisture before adding the other filling ingredients. Even easier? Heat them in the microwave for about 3-5 minutes on low, and allow them to cool before proceeding with the recipe. If your apples release lots of juice during this process, consider heating just the juice to reduce it into a syrup. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
