Notes:

To make this recipe an "overnight" recipe, assemble the casserole, cover with aluminum foil, and refrigerate overnight. Remove from refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking as directed.

To make this recipe even simpler, you can substitute one 20 oz can of apple pie filling for the baked apples. However, do check out our recipe for Crockpot Baked Apples. It is about the easiest recipe you will ever come across and it makes your house smell heavenly! If you happen to score a huge haul of apples at once, you can easily double the recipe and fit it into one large crockpot.
