Commonly Asked Questions
Should you cook apples before making apple pie?
Apples should not be cooked before making apple pie, unless stated in the recipe. You will peel and slice your apples, and place in the pie dish to bake. Apple pie bakes for a longer amount of time so you will find the apples soften as it bakes.
What apples should I use for apple pie?
You will find not all apples are created equally. You will use what is called a baking apple. Honeycrisp is a very sweet apple that is considered one of the best baking apples. Granny Smith apples offer a tart component that is a hit. Jonagold, Jazz, Pink Delicious and more are great to use. There are so many variety of apples to pick and choose from.
How to prevent crust from over-browning when cooking?
You can buy a crust cover for around the pie, or for a simple fix, take some aluminum foil. Wrap the crust with the foil, making sure to not cover the top of the pie. Then bake as directed in the recipe, and the last 15 minutes, remove the foil and you will have perfect crust every single time.
