Help! My apple crumb pie always ends up watery. What am I doing wrong? I follow the recipe exactly, but the filling doesn't seem to set properly. Any advice would be super appreciated!
Your apple crumb pie might be watery if the apples are too juicy or if there’s not enough thickener like flour or cornstarch. Try using firmer apples and adding a bit more thickener to soak up that extra moisture. You’ll get that perfect, non-watery filling!
Watery apple crumble pie is often caused by over-ripe apples or a too-wet filling. Let the apples drain well before adding them to the pie, and use a thickener like cornstarch or tapioca starch to help absorb excess moisture.
