Notes
Master Mix tip: If you’re using Bisquick, swap milk for water to account for the milk already in Master Mix. Click here for the Master Mix recipe →
Pie plate size matters: If your pie plate is too small, the filling may bubble over while baking. Check the size stamped on the bottom (9-inch is best) or measure rim to rim.
Apple choices: Tart apples like Granny Smith or a mix of sweet and tart varieties (e.g., Honeycrisp + Granny Smith) give the best flavor balance.
Make-ahead tip: The pie reheats beautifully in a low oven (about 250°F) for 10–15 minutes.
