1. Can I make this pie ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the pie a day in advance. Simply bake it as directed, let it cool completely, and store it in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes before serving to refresh the crust.

2. What are the best apples to use for apple pie?

A mix of tart and sweet apples is ideal for pie. Granny Smith and Honeycrisp are popular choices, but you can also use Fuji, Braeburn, or Golden Delicious. Mixing varieties gives the filling a more complex flavor.

3. Can I use a different fruit in this recipe?

Absolutely! This recipe works well with pears, peaches, or mixed berries. Adjust the sugar and spices to suit the fruit you’re using. For example, reduce the sugar for naturally sweeter fruits like peaches.

4. How can I prevent a soggy bottom crust?

To prevent a soggy crust, ensure that your filling is not too watery by tossing the apples in a mixture of sugar and flour. Additionally, baking the pie on the lower rack of the oven helps the bottom crust crisp up.

5. What if I don't have allspice or nutmeg?

If you don’t have allspice or nutmeg, you can omit them or substitute with a bit more cinnamon
