Tips & Tricks (5)

Apple Slice Precision 🔪
Slice apples uniformly and about 1/4-inch thick to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the pie filling.
Corn Flake Crumble Secret 🥣
Crush corn flakes coarsely by hand to create a more rustic, textured topping that provides better crunch and visual appeal.
Moisture Control Magic 💧
Add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the apple filling to prevent excess liquid and ensure a perfectly thickened, non-soggy pie.
Spice Bloom Technique 🌶️
Toast ground cinnamon and nutmeg briefly in a dry pan before adding to the filling to intensify their aromatic qualities and depth of flavor.
Crust Crimping Pro Tip 👐
Use your thumb and forefinger to create a professional-looking fluted edge on the pie crust, which helps seal in juices and creates an attractive presentation.
