My Father-In-Law requested I bring an apple pie to Thanksgiving. This caused me to panic more than just a little bit. I have never been able to make a very good apple pie; they always turn out really soupy and no matter what I do I have never been able to cook them long enough to get them to set up without burning the crust at the same time.
But I couldn’t let my FIL down. He’s such a super guy, and he never asks for anything.
I ended up using my new favorite buttery, flaky crust recipe, and shielding the top crust for a good portion of the cooking time, but the pie turned out beautifully. We were all pretty impressed, including my FIL, who claims it’s important to eat apple pie with a slice of cheese.

I know he LOVED it! He had a piece before bed, another at midnight and one when he woke up (all with a slice of cheese)! Great job Saucy Mama!!
