Tip #1:  Don’t have apple pie spice?  For 1 tsp = substitute 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon plus 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg, 1/8 tsp. ground allspice, and a dash ground cloves or ginger.

Tip #2: Don’t have time to make the apple filling portion and looking for a shortcut?  Use a large can of apple pie filling in place of the apples, brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp. apple pie spice.

Tip #3:  This would be a great recipe to make in the Fall during the Apple season.
