What type of apples should I use?
Granny Smith apples are the best option for this recipe. They have a nice, firm texture and tartness of flavor that hold up well to baking.
Do I have to peel the apples?
Technically, no but I always do and it doesn’t take more than a few minutes with a standard hand peeler. The reason why I prefer to use peeled apples is that leaving the skins on can give a chewiness to the texture of the filling.

For the Streusel Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
