  1. Avoid using overly tart or soft apples, as they can affect the texture and flavor of the pie.
  2. Avoid overhandling the pie crust, as this can make it tough instead of flaky.
  3. Avoid adding too much liquid to the filling, as it can result in a soggy bottom crust.
  4. Avoid cutting into the pie too soon after baking, as the filling needs time to set.
  5. Avoid skipping the step of venting the top crust, as it allows steam to escape and prevents a soggy crust.
