Jackie King of A&J King Artisan Bakers in Salem likes a deep pie made with Cortland apples. She tosses the sliced fruit with sugar, flour, and cinnamon and lets it sit for 10 minutes before setting in a well-chilled bottom crust. Her top crust is also well chilled, to help prevent shrinking. King bakes the pie on a rimmed baking sheet (to catch drips) atop a preheated pizza stone so the bottom crust stays flaky.
