You should probably add some flour, too.

literally just follow the recipe exactly and you wont fuck it up if you cant bake at a basic level your iq is room temp

[Anonymous No.15735609]

>>15734930
You shouldn't fuck it up, the Raspberry Pi should come with a Micro-SD that has an operating system on it and you could flash your own i- oh wait this is /ck/

If you use butter instead of shortening, then you already fucked it up.

[Anonymous No.15735618]

>>15734953
Is shortening a common-enough ingredient that recipes take pride in not using it?
Do Americans really?

Cook the apples and strain to remove the moisture, that’s the only advice you need

[Anonymous No.15735651]

>>15734930
It’s easy, if you have a custardy or wet filling (like pumpkin) flash bake your crust—
1) heat the oven to specified temp
2) line it with parchment paper or foil
3) fill it with pie weights or dry beans

If you don’t flash bake it you risk the bottom of the crust not cooking or being wet and doughy. Also, use 1/2 shortening and 1/2 butter for your pie crust fat, it’s the best for texture and flavor. I recommend real butter and not margarine for this!

I am a bit of a pie veteran. Good luck!! Pies are really simple and easy so don’t overthink it. It’s pretty hard to mess up a pie. I know you’ll do great. Best of luck!!!!

[Anonymous No.15735665]

>>15735651
(Also, I still prefer flash baking crust even when using a more solid filling like apple. I find the crust is just a lot nicer and flakier.)
If the sides of your crust (the visible part) begin to brown too much in the oven, cover it in foil. And don’t open the oven unless necessary when baking!
Apple pie is real easy, you’ll get it! That’s why they say it’s “easy as apple pie.”

only two tricks I know that really matter.
1. Use ice cold water to make the dough with, and then keep the dough cold.
2. Work the dough as little as you can manage. Never even think about kneading.

[Anonymous No.15735688]

>>15735672
Ooh, this too. And you can even use some vodka if your dough isn’t wet enough— it will evaporate in the oven and doesn’t leave any bad flavor. You should also leave it wrapped in the fridge overnight so all the flour can hydrate. And, it’s just easier. Make sure you’re working the dough in a cool environment that isn’t too warm.

wouldn’t flash baking shrink the crust edges? would a double crust pie look fucky?
can’t be bothered to go out and buy shortening, but ill try the flash bake

[Anonymous No.15737897]

>>15735993
It won’t be baking long enough to really shrink it or cook it solid. It’ll be okay!

It could work, make a nice custard with cantaloupe pulp.

As long as your pie doesn't look like this you're good

[Anonymous No.15739269]

>>15738213
how did it get so thick? there's no raising agents in pie crust right?

[Anonymous No.15739381]

>>15734930
Probably like 100%. But if you need advice use ice water and keep whatever fat you're using as cold as possible. whenever your pie dough is formed throw it in the fridge for a bit to let the fat become solid again. You can precook the bottom crust by putting rice in a thing of tinfoil to weigh it down. You don't need to lattice the top you can just throw a crust on top just make sure to eggwash and crimp it. When baking put a ring of tinfoil around the edges of the crust if you don't want the edges brown.
