Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust: Mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the frozen butter until crumbly. Stir in eggs and milk to form a dough. Chill before use.
- Make the Filling: Combine diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Cook slightly to soften apples. Stir in cornstarch to thicken.
