In deepest sympathy of my last baked apple pie (may it rest in peace), which I lovingly baked for my parents and placed on top of an air bake cookie sheet so it wouldn't drip in my oven - causing the bottom crust to not bake AT ALL - and I didn't know this until I served it after dinner (is this sentence long enought for ya? ) **deep breath**, you must try a piece now. There will be no presentation if the bottom crust didn't bake, only humiliation which is tough to serve, even ala mode, when you have to flip the piece over, exposing a nekid bottom. Oh, **hand across forehead** the disgrace of it all....
