### Tips for Perfect Apple and Cinnamon Slippers
– **Use Firm Apples**: For the best results, use firm apples that hold their shape when cooked, such as Granny Smith or Fuji. Softer apples can become mushy and may not hold up well in the pastry.
– **Add a Crunch**: If you like a bit of texture in your filling, consider adding chopped **walnuts** or **pecans** for a delightful crunch.
– **Experiment with Spices**: You can tweak the spices based on your taste. Try adding a pinch of **cloves** or **allspice** for a deeper, more complex flavor.
– **Make Ahead**: You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to a day, making the pastry assembly quick and easy when you’re ready to bake.
– **Freezer-Friendly**: These slippers freeze well! Assemble them, freeze them on a baking sheet, and then store them in an airtight container. When you’re ready to bake, simply pop them in the oven straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
