Tips:

To achieve the best texture for your mock apple pie, use a combination of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples. Granny Smith apples provide a tart flavor, while Honeycrisp apples add sweetness and crunch.
Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the apples. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
Be sure to drain the apples well after cooking. This will help to prevent the pie from becoming soggy.
Don't overmix the pie filling. Overmixing can make the filling tough.
If you don't have a pie crust mix on hand, you can make your own using a simple recipe. There are many recipes available online, or you can use a store-bought pie crust.
To prevent the pie crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling.
Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set.
