Deep-Dish Apple PiePT370Mhttps://img4.recipesrun.com/201907/2019/1021/4d/1/883176/300x200x50.jpg As the weather starts to get cooler, is there honestly anything more comforting than the sight of an apple pie? We certainly don't think so. Precooking the apples allowed us to cram twice as many apples in our deep-dish apple pie recipe than in our standard pie. Why didn’t they fall apart when precooked and then cooked again inside the pie? When the apples are gently heated, their pectin is converted to a heat-stable form that keeps them from becoming mushy when cooked further in the oven.10 servings
