What is this ingredient for a successful apple pie?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The filling of your pie must be fairly gelled and not runny, otherwise it will wet  the bottom crust <\/strong> of your pie and make it soft. Your cake then loses its crunchiness. The secret?  Use corn starch. <\/strong> Mix it with the sugar, before adding the apples to the mixture, to avoid the formation of lumps. This ingredient allows  to thicken the cake filling <\/strong> and prevents it from dripping before cooking. Plus, cornstarch doesn’t take long to cook. However, it needs a high temperature for baking  and should not be used excessively,<\/strong>  otherwise it may change the flavor and texture of your cake.  a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that you can substitute cornstarch for flour,<\/a>  even though it doesn’t have the same thickening ability. In this case, use two tablespoons of flour,  instead of a tablespoon of corn starch. <\/strong>Mix the flour with the sugar before adding the apples. Also note that flour is particularly suitable for fruit that is less juicy or very rich in pectin, a substance present in many vegetables  and which acts as a natural thickener. <\/strong> Apples and blueberries are very rich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
