  • Use fresh ingredients: Using fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your pie. Look for ripe fruit, fresh cheese, and real butter.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, and then stop.
  • Preheat the oven: Always preheat the oven before baking the pie. This will help the pie bake evenly.
  • Bake the pie until it is golden brown: The pie is done baking when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot.
