If the edge of your pie crust is becoming too brown while baking, cover it with foil. It's easy to make a foil cover that can be washed and reused. On a 12-inch disposable foil pizza pan, draw a 7-inch-diameter circle in the center. Cut out the circle and discard. Then simply center the foil over the pie to cover the crust.

My family is fond of any treat featuring apples, but this pie is the one they like best. Unlike some fruit pies, this crust doesn't become soggy, thanks to the addition of ground walnuts. Everyone agrees the flavor of nuts pairs well with apples in this fall favorite. —Evonne Wurmnest, Normal, Illinois
The subtle tastes of orange and nutmeg bring out the fresh flavor of plums in this comforting pie. Be sure to have a slice while it's still warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. —Lucille Mead, Ilion, New York
