I'm all about the comfort food, and I have a crazy sweet tooth. So, naturally, I knew I'd have to make a dessert on a stick... and what's more comforting than a nice bite of apple pie?

Thank you for the incredible instructable :)
These sound delicious! However, Red Delicious are not really the best apples for pie. If you'll use apples with a crisper texture and a mixture of sweetness and tartness, you'll have a much tastier end product. Basically, an apple that is juicy and somewhat tart will make a better pie than most of the apples that people commonly eat. The best pie apples are rarely available in mainstream grocery stores. You may get a better variety at a natural foods store, and in fact organic apples will have a more complex flavor than the same varieties grown conventionally. If you're fortunate enough to live near where apples are grown, you can probably get much better apples in season from small local farmers. This is one of the many benefits of local foods.
i frequently find the following apples in mainstream grocery stores or natural foods stores. Jonagold and Jonathan are my preferred apples when i'm looking for both sweetness and tartness in one apple. You can also use a combination of sweet apples (i like Fuji, Pink Lady, Suncrisp, Braeburn) and tart apples (Granny Smith are the most likely find in most stores, but if you're lucky you might find Pippin, Northern Spy, or Idared. Gala is a favorite sweet apple addition to any pie, in my opinion, for its near-perfect apple flavor.
Happy baking! :)
Do you think I could sub cinnamon rolls instead?
You might experiment with a more flavorful apple.
Pippins are my favorite for apple pie.
