• Cut off the top of 4 apples and discard.
• Carefully remove the inside of each apple with a spoon or melon baller, not puncturing the peel. Salvage as much as you can for the filling.

Filling

• Remove skin from the remaining apples and slice very thinly.
• In a bowl, mix apple slices with cinnamon and sugars.
• Spoon filling into hollow apples.

Apples

• Roll out piecrust and slice into 1/4-inch strips.
• Cover the top of each apple with piecrust strips in a lattice pattern.
• Place apples in an 8-by-8-inch baking dish.
• Add just enough water to cover the bottom of the dish.
• Cover with foil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and apple slices are tender.
