For the filling

3 medium apples (about 1 lb), peeled, cored, and cut into ½-inch dice
3 tbsp granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp cornstarch

For brushing

2 tbsp dairy free milk
1 tbsp granulated sugar
Chef's tip

For the glaze

½ cup powdered sugar
Chef's tip
Follow the package's conversion to powdered sugar. In frosting or glaze, add liquid gradually - replacements can absorb it differently.
1–2 tbsp dairy free milk

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are just tender and the sugar has dissolved, about 5–6 minutes.
