How to Make Apple Pie with Frozen Applesに挑戦したい方へ、役立つ 手順書をお届けします。

Sometimes, despite our best efforts, the pie is a little weepy. It happens. Don’t panic. Let it cool completely—like, four hours completely. The filling sets as it cools.

Cut into a hot pie, and you’ll get a lava flow. You’ll be mad. Everyone will be disappointed. Cool it. Put it on a wire rack and walk away. Read a book. Call your mom.

When it’s finally room temperature? That’s when the magic happens. The slices will hold together. The apples will be tender but not mushy. You’ll feel like a genius.

The Taste Test (Aka the Best Part)

Take a bite. Close your eyes. Seriously. The flavor from frozen apples can actually be better than fresh. Why? Because they were picked at peak ripeness and flash-frozen.

Frozen apples have lost some water content during freezing, which concentrates their sweetness. So your pie tastes intensely apple-y. It’s a happy accident from science.

You can even throw in a handful of frozen cranberries or frozen blueberries with the apples. No one will know. Except you. And you’ll be smug about it.
