Notes
Use high-quality ingredients for best flavor
Avoid overmixing the batter to keep crust tender
Use a 9x13-inch pan for even cooking
Don't open the oven during baking to prevent sinking
Substitute self-rising flour with all-purpose flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder
Try peaches or blueberries instead of apple pie filling
Add cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth
