Thank you.

2. THANK YOU!

That's the best apple pie recipe I've ever seen. Dough in the fridge overnight, cooking the apples and thickening with cornstarch, pre-baking the bottom layer. Wonderful!

3. This was so interesting.

What a delightful man that pastry chef is. His joy in his job just radiates from him.

I rather like it when the bottom crust of a fruit pie gets soft with the juices from the filling, so I probably wouldn’t pre-bake the bottom crust for very long.

7. I agree, or I just avoid the slurry so there's moisture. That top crust was too dark for me

But I’d sure like to taste that and see if he’s on to something! Maybe it’s a winner.

My fruit pie crust (not mine: grandma rose’s — you can find her recipes in the bookstore) uses orange juice instead of water. I think she explains why but I forget. Man it’s a good crust.

4. I've rarely made a good pie crust

Now I can see what I was doing wrong (not chilling it). Maybe now I will be successful!! 🥧🥧🥧
