The apples will turn a little brown. Do you have a tool that peels, cores and slices the apples? I use mine all the time to make apple pies, so quick. It was about $20.

And use OJ instead of lemon juice. You won't need as much sugar in the pie and it will still stop browning.

OP here. It turned out I didn't have time to do it earlier anyway, so no pie tonight. Another day. Thanks for the tip about thickening before baking.

They will release a lot of juice while they're sitting, maybe heat up the filling on the stove and thicken it up before baking in the crust.

I want to make an apple pie tonight but won't have time to chop apples, etc. late this afternoon. I will have time during my toddler's nap though. Can I chop the apples, mix with lemon & sugar, and leave them in the fridge till dinnertime, then assemble the pie and bake?
