Cookbook talk:Apple Pie II

I made another apple pie
After my success making the easy apple pie I thought I would challenge myself on this one:
 * I cheated again and bought ready-made pie shells
 * I did not have lemon (well, I did, but I could not find it), so instead I replaced some of the water with a leftover can of Sanpellegrinno.
 * The problem was making the syrup (step 4)- it took forever for it to thicken and when it did it turned rock hard very quickly (the recipe did not give me any clue about how high to turn on the heat or how long to boil it. I guess I started on a too low heat and ended too high). The cleanup afterwards, which is the downside of cooking in general in my limited experience, was a real pain.

To make a long story short, the finished product was very tasty, especially when eaten with a blob of ice-cream on top. Ottawahitech (discuss • contribs) 16:44, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
