FAQs

1. Can I use other fruits instead of apples?
Absolutely! You can substitute with pears, berries, or a mix of your favorite fruits for a unique twist on this classic pie.

2. How can I make the crust even flakier?
Ensure your butter is very cold before mixing and avoid overworking the dough. You can also add a little ice water to the mixture if it seems too dry.

3. Can I prepare the filling in advance?
Yes, you can prepare your apple filling a few hours ahead. Just make sure to keep it covered to prevent browning from the lemon juice exposure.
