Tips and Tricks

Prevent Browning

Sprinkle apple slices with lemon juice to keep them from turning brown before baking.

Even Baking

Place the pie plate on a baking sheet to catch spills and help the crust bake evenly.

Cooling Time

Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours so the filling sets and slices cleanly.
