Yes , I would reheat them in the microwave for 15-20 intervals until it is as warm as you like it
That is up to you but I like to use granny smith or honey crisp. I recommend a firm apple
Yes this is a good basic recipe but any fruit you would make a pie with can be used
You can use it but I recommend dicing the apples in the filling
have not tried yet, would not use the glaze.
