Can you put an apple pie in the fridge before cooking it?

Here's why:

* Moisture: Refrigerating the pie will make the crust soggy. The moisture from the apples will seep into the dough, making it difficult to bake properly.

* Crust Texture: The cold crust will also be harder to work with and may crack during baking.

* Filling: Refrigerating the apple filling will make the apples release more moisture, which can lead to a soggy pie.

Instead, you should:

* Prepare the crust and filling separately. You can chill the crust if you want to make it easier to work with, but don't refrigerate the entire pie.

* Assemble and bake the pie immediately.

Enjoy your delicious apple pie! 🥧
