Why Is There Always a Gap In My Apple Pie?

There are few kitchen moments more satisfying than pulling a perfect, golden-brown apple pie from the oven. The buttery aroma fills the air, the crust is latticed beautifully, and you can just imagine the warm, spiced filling inside.

They’ve risen sideways, spilling over the edges, a shadow of their potential.
