Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of apple for this pie?
Yes, you can use other types of apples such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Braeburn. These apples also have the right balance of sweetness and tartness, but Granny Smith apples are preferred for their tart flavor and firmness.
How should I store leftover apple pie?
Leftover apple pie can be stored in the refrigerator, covered tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze the pie for longer storage; wrap it well and it can last up to 3 months in the freezer.
What can I do if my pie crust shrinks while baking?
To prevent your pie crust from shrinking, ensure that you allow the dough to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. Also, avoid stretching the dough when fitting it into the pie pan, and make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking.
