SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
We all know that apple pie is a great comfort desert for renal patients cutting down on phosphorus and potassium. We all know you can get an apple pie recipe anywhere... so why does Chef Quidenay bother? Because our apple pie should be even better than all the other apple pies, that's why! This is an open top pie, with less crust and more apples, and the thinly sliced apples add a touch of sophistication. You deserve it!
