Critique of the Apple Pie

Since this was the first time I made an apple pie, let alone any kind of pie from scratch, it turned out pretty good.  However, I thought the crust was very thin, but the filling was absolutely delicious.  The directions said to cut thin apple slices, but I would leave them larger than thinner.  The directions also stated that after 15-20 minutes to put small strips of aluminum foil to prevent the crust from burning.  I didn't use strips, I actually took aluminum foil and wrapped it around the crust cutting out the center, but the crust still burned.  I actually cut the burned parts off before serving.  The directions also said to wait 2 hours before serving, but my family couldn't wait that long.  The filling seemed to be runny, but I think I didn't give it the necessary time to cool.

I think for dessert for Thanksgiving, I'm going to do what I have done for years, buy Mrs. Smith's Apple Pie!
