I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie crust turned out really tough. I think I might have overworked the dough.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as good as the pictures. The crust was too thick and the filling was too runny.

This recipe was a disaster. The crust was tough and chewy, and the filling was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I've made this pie several times now, and it's always a hit. The crust is easy to work with, and the filling is delicious. I like to add a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to the filling for extra flavor.

This recipe is a keeper! The crust turned out flaky and golden brown, and the filling was perfectly sweet and tart. I used fresh apples from my backyard, and they really made the pie shine. My family loved it, and I'll definitely be making it again s
