Tips:
- Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- Peel and core your apples thinly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Add a little bit of lemon juice to your apples. This will help to prevent them from browning and will also add a bit of brightness to the flavor.
- Use a good quality pie crust. You can either make your own or buy a pre-made one. If you are making your own, be sure to use cold butter and water. This will help to create a flaky crust.
- Don't overfill your pie. This will make it difficult for the pie to cook evenly. Leave about 1 inch of space around the edges of the crust.
- Bake your pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes. This will help to create a golden brown crust. Then, reduce the temperature and continue baking until the filling is bubbly and the crust is cooked through.
- Let your pie cool completely before serving. This will help to set the filling and make it easier to slice.

Apple pie is a classic American dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can make a delicious apple pie that your family and friends will love. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
