Slice apples thinly and discard the cores. Turn baking dish on its side and support with an oven mitt or kitchen towel to keep upright. Stack apple slices in baking dish until full. Lay baking dish flat once more.

# Notes:

This dessert is called 'impossible' because it creates its own crust as it bakes - no pastry making required.

Works well with tart baking apples like Granny Smith or a mix of apple varieties for more complex flavor.
