“Followed this to the letter. Way too watery for my taste. I’ve made apple pie for forty years but with no sauce. This was like an apple sauce pie. Flavour was good but I prefer my drier version. Not a fan of this wet pie.” — a cook, 3.0★
“The pie recipe was amazing, like all of your recipes are. My pie dough shrank though, even though it was put into the freezer before the oven. This always happens to me. Can you tell me why?” — a cook, 5.0★
