Slice the apples and mix them immediately with sugar, spices, and thickener. Bake the pie right away because the apples will shrink during baking due to the water they contain.
Pre-cook the apples with the sugar, spices, and thickener, then allow the mixture to cool before adding it to the dough. This helps the apples retain their shape and keeps the pie generously filled with fruit.
Combine the apples with part of the sugar and let the mixture sit for one hour. Then drain the liquid that forms and gently simmer it over low heat until it thickens.
Stir the reduced syrup back into the apples along with the remaining ingredients. This method ensures the pie filling reaches the top crust, as most of the water has been removed from the apples.
