FAQs

• What kind of apples should I use for this recipe?

Use Granny Smith apples for the best results since they hold their shape and don’t release too much liquid.

• Do I have to blind-bake the pie crust?

Blind-baking the crust ensures that it stays crisp even after the filling is added. However, if you don’t mind a slightly softer crust, you can skip this step.

• Can I use a pre-made pie crust instead of making it from scratch?

Yes, you can use a pre-made pie crust to save time. Just be sure to follow the baking instructions on the package.

• Can I use a different type of cream instead of heavy cream?

No, heavy cream works best in this recipe since it creates a rich and creamy filling.

• How do I know when the pie is done baking?

The crust should be golden brown and the filling should be set. You can also insert a toothpick into the center of the pie to check if the apples are tender.
