@Kimberly No, don't bake the crust before. Bake it all together, including the apples, crust and crust top. :3

HELP I'm not a pie maker and I'm confused. Do I bake the crust before I add the ingr to cook a pie or do I add the filling and then cook the pie?

You did a fantastic job chef John. Never bake turkey before, and when I was looking for the recipes on how to prepare turkey, I came accross your site, and ever since that I'm a fan of yours. So keep up the good work!

I followed this recipe to a T and it looked beautiful and when I went to cut it there was so much juice that it made the bottom crust very soggy. How disappointing. How do you keep that from happening??? Would not recommend this recipe!!!

Where is the recipe for your easy classic apple pie. Not the caramel one. You said your mom used three different types of apples and that did the trick

I tried the pot pie, minus the celery, and used tinned peas which I added later, was pleasantly surprised. Easy to follow and delicious. Will put a pastry layer inside next time around. Thank you lovely recipe.
