I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie turned out terrible. I'll have to try again.

This pie was a total disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was runny.

This recipe was a little confusing to follow. I think it could be improved with some more detailed instructions.

The pears in my pie didn't soften as much as I would have liked. I think I'll try cooking them for a bit longer next time.
