Chicago-Style Bakery Apple Slices

I have to confess something. I’ve never actually been to Chicago. So I’ve never actually eaten a Chicago-Style Bakery Apple Slices in a Chicago bakery. But! I did come across them on the internet and as soon as a saw that gooey apple filling peeking out of flaky pie crust and encrusted in thick sugary glaze, I wanted in.

INGREDIENTS
