I'm allergic to berries, so I made this pie with apples instead. It was still delicious!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie crust turned out soggy. The filling was good, though.

This pie is a bit tart for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll add a little more sugar to the filling.

I'm not a big fan of pie crust, but the crust on this pie was perfect. It was flaky and buttery.
