    • If your oven cooks on the warm side cover the sides of the pie crust with some foil to avoid burning. Then remove the foil in the last 15 minutes of baking.
    • Use a mixture of apples and avoid soft apples such as Golden or Red Delicious apples.
    • Feel free to adjust the spices to your own tastes.
    • If you've got the time, make a homemade pie crust rather than buying one at the store.
