Cooking Tips

• Choose apples that are firm and slightly tart, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, for the best flavor and texture in the pie.
• To prevent the pie crust from getting soggy, you can pre-bake it for a few minutes before adding the apple filling.
• Make sure to let the pie cool completely before cutting into it to allow the filling to set.
• For a decorative touch, you can use a piping bag to pipe the meringue onto the pie in swirls or peaks.

Storage and Serving

• Store any leftover apple pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat the pie, place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
• Serve the apple pie with meringue topping at room temperature or slightly warmed, and enjoy!
