Pie Filling

Store unopened cans/jars in a cool, dry pantry. Once opened, transfer any unused filling to an airtight container and refrigerate.

For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before baking.

If the filling seems too thin, you can thicken it slightly by stirring in a teaspoon of cornstarch or flour before adding it to your pie crust.

For a crispier crust, bake your pie on a lower rack in the oven.
