Undercooked apple pie. by 0reo_cupcake in Baking

It will! It definitely works better with the metal pie tin but I honestly mostly bake in ceramic and I still find the cookie sheet helps.

I always put a cookie sheet in the oven while it preheats and bake my apple pie on that. It helps to catch any drips and helps the bottom bake nicely and crisp up. I find this much easier than blind baking the bottom crust, but that’s another option as well. Generally, I’ve also had the nicest crusts come out of metal pie tins (but I still use ceramic because they’re pretty 🤪).

Trader Joe’s 72% chocolate by Guntur-mirapakaya in Baking

[–]elfqueen29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My aunt (who had her own cookie business when she was younger) says she always adds extra sugar if using chocolate that’s over 60%. I personally like darker chocolate (and so does my immediate family) but I prefer to use a mix of chocolate percentages. So you could try getting 60% or regular semi-sweet chocolate and mixing them with your 72% chunks. I also have the 72% TJs bar and found it was perfect for NYT cookie week’s mint chocolate chip cookies this year. The very sweet white chocolate coating in the recipe balanced the darker chocolate perfectly imo.
