Do You Cook Apples Before Making Apple Pie?
It is generally recommended to cook the apples before making an apple pie. This is because most apple pie recipes require a significant amount of time in the oven in order to get a crispy crust, which can result in undercooked or tough apples if they are not pre-cooked. Pre-cooking the apples also allows for better control of the texture and flavor of your pie filling, as you can adjust the amount of sugar, spices, and thickener to your liking.
