Cooking Instructions
1.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

Granny Smith Apples (6 cups)
, cut into about ¼-inch cubes, and add into a medium mixing bowl. Add half of the
Lemon Juice (1/2)
, then mix until well combined.
3.
For the remaining apple, thinly slice it and transfer it to a separate bowl with the remaining
Lemon Juice (1/2)
.
4.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the
Large Eggs (6)
