alvin fails. i made apple pie.. soup?

lol so colin and i decided we would make apple pie last night. well mainly it turned into me making apple pie and colin bought some greiere (sp?). anyways I think i kind of failed... because the filling turned really watery... it actually tastes really good and the crust is great but.. it just started pooling when i cut it! i think i will stick it in the oven again when i get home tonight. well. after doing some research we found out that maybe our pie is so soupy becuase i didnt put enough flour.. sofor those using the following recipe.. i advise more flour in the filling? or just maybe in the oven longer than 40-45 mins...

UPDATE:

oh i forgot to explain how i did it! hahhaha

ok

so i followed the instructions for the pie crust.. which is relatively easy.. but i used half real butter and half I CANT BELIEVE ITS NOT BUTTER!!! "FOR BAKING"hahha i love that.. anyways. pretty easy.. just broke the butter up with my fingers in the flour.. kind of like.. making apple crumble. then wrapped it up. since i didnt use shortening, i put the dough in the fridge to cool, i think i left it in there for a while because i didnt roll out the dough until after dinner.. which was.. maybe a couple of hours later.

then i cut all the apples into thin slices.. colin had found a recipe for 'all american' and told me to buy fuji apples.. which now that we look back on.. maybe we shoudlnt haev just cos everyone says to use granny smith + those are more tart and sour whereas fuji is more sweet. anyways.. mixed it all.. blah lbah.. i think this is the part that i messed up.. becuase i think there was excess water at the bottom.. and that might have contributed to the soupyness hahah

ok. so then. i rolled out the crust.. with a cup! rolling out pie dough with a cup is much easier than rolling out spring onion pancake dough.. probz cos its so much more buttery ahhaha :D

well the pie crust was delicious. and i'm going rebake it tonight to boil out more of the water.. i hope it'll be less soupy.. cos the taste is good. ahhahahha

OH i added greiere to the crust, an idea my old roommate and i got from pushing daisies and its relaly good because greiere is mild and it mkes the crust really crispy and delicious.

Happy pie day!

*sigh* i'm sad for my soupy apple pie.. but..

alvin fails for not blogging again. HAHHHAHHAHAHHA
