Made an apple pie last Sunday using a pre-made crust bought from Fairprice Finest. The crust tasted pretty good, but the filling was way too sour.

Tried making the crust myself based on the 'Miracle baking powder pie crust' recipe and combined it with 'Fresh blueberry pie I' recipe. Boy it's really expensive to make a blueberry pie. I used 3 boxes of blueberries which cost nearly $8. And I used one whole stick of butter for the crust... I'd made the crust last night to leave it to chill in the fridge overnight, but when I got it out today it was hard as a rock. Think there's something wrong with my fridge. Anyway I got a terrible shock just now while baking, because when I went to check after 40 minutes the filling was flowing out like some volcano eruption. Goodness! Maybe I've baked it for too long? Anyway now the bottom is all soaked in blueberry juice. :( Waiting for the pie to set now, so probably will slice it at around 8-9pm.

9PM: Tried the pie. The filling was okay, but the crust was too salty. Hoped I hadn't mistaken the tablespoon for teaspoon. Think I handled the dough too much cos the crust is a bit hard.
