My first pie ever! This pie turned out wonderful although the filling was a little runny at first. (fixed with cornstarch--- remember to stir with a little water in a glass BEFORE adding, or else it will clump into little white balls and look gross!) I learned that if you leave the pie in the fridge overnight the cornstarch makes the filling perfectly wiggly (my version of saying the right consistency). If you don't think the filling is thickening, leaving the pie in the fridge overnight will really perfect it. I put leaves and an acorn design in the middle. (be creative and make any design!) My mother doubted I could make a perfect pie---especially she doubted the crust --- but it was complemented on by my whole fam. In my taste the crust WAS a little bland, but you can fix that by sprinkling cinnamon and sugar over the bottom and top crusts. When refrigerating the crusts... you dont have to go the full timing.. just make sure they are chilled before using. I also used butter instead of shortening, i guess thats a bid old fashioned no-no, but it made it nice and flaky-- perfecto!
