Apple pies, unfortunately, have neither fronts nor backs, only tops and
bottoms and sides.

Once you slice a piece of pie, it has a pointy front and a broader back,
however.

Therefore to back an apple pie all you have to do is this:

1. Cut it into slices
2. Cut the backs off of the slices

Or you could think ahead and cut the "sides" off of the whole pie. When you
cut it, the pie slices will be without their backs as if by magic.

Most people hear about it but don't necessarily know someone who is like
that.

Which ingredients? There are sites out there that descibe how to replace
things like eggs, milk, butter, etc. Which ones seem to be the problem? If
you post a recipe you'd like to adapt maybe you could get more help.
