Thank you for such kind words! <br /><br />I hate soggy crust too, but I found that mine was crunchy enough when I followed the Joy of Cooking instructions to bake in the bottom 3rd of the oven and to use two different temperatures. I'm not a pie expert by any means, so if you have any words of wisdom to that regard, please leave them here! I'm feeling more pie experiments in the future...

The crust was nice and crunchy, apples were the perfect soft but not too soft texture. Very good. I actually prebaked the crust since I hate the soggy crust. I might just follow your suggestion next time-it was crunchy at the bottom too but oh so good. I was weary of using golden delicious since they are so soft but I trusted you and all was well with the world. We served it warm with homemade vanilla ice cream. Big hit!

If you tend to have trouble with tough pie crust and find yourself rolling rerolling, use it. If you like super crispy but not chewy crusts, use it. If you like flaky chewy amazing crusts, go without. It is a good trick for when you're first figuring out pie crusts, or doing something like handpies where you repeatedly re-roll (and every time it gets more glutinous, like kneading bread)Alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14272582284640073612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2151018193473620618.post-59390737358164549232009-10-27T11:26:53.233-07:002009-10-27T11:26:53.233-07:00This pie is beautiful - I love your autumn picture...This pie is beautiful - I love your autumn pictures too!
