Apple Pie Failure

Apple Pie Failure - Yummy fruit pies on table

is there a fix for an apple pie where the crust is perfectly baked and tasty but the apples underneath did not cook all the way and are still crunchy and not soft?? I used Fuji apples but could have used many others. What went wrong?



Best Answer

It sounds like it is possible that you did not bake the pie long enough. If your crust is browning too fast, covering it with aluminum foil can help slow the browning so that your filling can cook completely. I would also suggest using the middle rack in your oven, and avoiding convection.

    Why did my apple pie turn out runny?

    When you cook apples, the pectin in them breaks down, making the apples watery. The lower pH value of tart apples reduces the amount of pectin that breaks down, so the apples hold their shape and get less mushy. This will prevent your pie from getting watery.
