Default Problem with my apple pie: please help

I used both canned and fresh. I see now that this was a mistake, though
in the past it worked okay. Still, it wasn't as juicy as I wanted the
pie to be.

I think I'm going to try different types of apples and we'll see which
works best for me. I think I have a vague memory of which apples my
mother used. They were big, and they were what we used to call "baking
apples." I think they were either Cortland or Macintosh.

But just to experiment, over the summer I might try a different type of
apple each week. I might make something I like better than what my
mother used to make.
