Apple Pie.... Oh my...

For Thanksgiving I decided I would try to make an apple pie.  I have heard from many that apple pie's are the hardest pies to make.  You don't want the apples to be mushy, but they can't be too hard.  The pie shouldn't be runny, etc.  I watched a cooking show that said if you put some unsalted crackers in the bottom, it would help to absorb the juice, so it won't be as runny.  So I thought I would try that trick as well.

I found a 5 star recipe on allrecipes.com and decided I would try that.  However, I think I messed it up somehow.  I think the sugar mixture was supposed to be thicker then it turned out.  The pie looked amazing when it came out of the oven, very pretty and very shiny.  This was also my first time making a lattice top.  It turned out pretty good!  I was shocked!  Anyway, here is a picture of it.

But as soon as we cut into it, it was very runny, and it wasn't as tasty as I thought it would be.  Oh well, live and learn.
