I’ve made apple pies, apple crisps, etc. before and love them all. \u00a0However I always seem to have issue arise that bothers the heck out of me – they are runny! \u00a0While I and those I serve it to love the flavor, it’s frustrating and embarrassing to have it be so runny.<\/p>\n

For thanksgiving this year, I was asked to bring an apple pie. \u00a0Now the “easy” move is to just buy one, but that goes against what I stand for and hurts my pride just a bit… \u00a0Plus I know that I can produce a better tasting product for the same price or less than store-bought most of the time. \u00a0Though I was\u00a0getting nervous – I didn’t want to serve another runny apple pie…<\/p>\n

So I did what any distraught cook would do – check the internet for what others have done. \u00a0ha! \u00a0I have tried to find a solution to a runny apple pie before but never came up with much advice. \u00a0And I was getting the same answers this time – bake it longer, or use a different apple, or use flower in your apple coating. \u00a0I’m sure those ideas work, but just didn’t seem to be the right solution.<\/p>\n

So a bit more searching, and I found a recipe that seemed unique enough to what I’ve done in the past that just might do the trick, and figured why not give it a try. \u00a0After all, it is from the Food Network<\/a> who I do have culinary respect for.<\/p>\n

There are two techniques from this recipe that I was not doing before that after executing this recipe I now understand are critical to a runny free apple pie:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Saut\u00e9\u00a0the apples in a pan<\/b>. \u00a0This does two things:\n
      \n
    1. It unlocks some of the juices from the apple and releases them into the pan.<\/li>\n
    2. It softens the apples a bit, which solves a second issue of the apples being too hard and crisp, or under-cooked by baking only.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    3. Create a syrup from the apple liquids<\/strong>. \u00a0Using the liquids above, cook separate\u00a0from the apples\u00a0with sugar until you caramelize the liquids and thus create a bit of a syrup.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      In my case, the syrup was still a bit runny while assembling the pie and even when I pulled it out of the oven. \u00a0However as the pie cooled so did the syrup and it turned into a perfect pie filling – full of flavor with a thick and consistent syrup to bind the well cooked apples together.<\/p>\n

      \"No<\/a>
      Thanks to the Food Network, I’ve learned the keys to making a non-runny apple pie that people will rave over!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

      So there you go – those are my lessons learned. \u00a0As for the recipe, I’m not going to re-type it since the Food Network are the real geniuses behind it, so you can find the link below. \u00a0The recipe includes the crust from scratch, which I’m always a fan of doing and have to thank my lovely wife for taking care of that part for this Thanksgiving. \u00a0I hope you have the same success as I have!<\/p>\n
