Can we have a thread about pies that isn't entirely shitposting?

I've been having issues trying to get a good apple pie filling that isn't watery as fuck. I've used a fuckton of pectin so far and that doesn't seem to be doing the trick. My latest batch was

>24 apples
>2 packets of gelatin pectin
>a few cups of sugar

And it was still watery as fuck. What am I doing wrong?

Did you remove the water from the apples?

I can't tell if this is shit posting

My apple pies need only 5-6 granny smith apples and 1/2 cup sugar.

Are you sure you aren't making apple sauce?

>pectin
Gross, slimy, 1950s nightmare food tier apple pie style

Thin slices and let gravity hold it together

Try following a recipe.

What?

I was making multiple pies.

>I was making multiple pies.
Did you adjust the ingredients? Are you sure you didn't just fuck it up?

It's always a possibility. Is there a ratio of pectin/apples I should follow?

Whatever the recipe tells you to use.

Copycat the best pie to ever exist.
