I have my Mom's recipe for apple pie. Its easy... 6 Granny Smith apples peeled, pared, and sliced, arranged in a pie shell. Sprinkle 1/2 c sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon mix over the apples.... Mix 1/2 c sugar, 2/3 flour and cut 1/3 c butter into the flour & sugar mix. Sprinkle that over the apples.... bake 425 for 40-50 minutes.

My problem is EVERY time I make this the pie is soggy. Tastes great. But soggy. Really soggy. Like 1/2 inch of water in the pie soggy. This past weekend I poked a hole in the pie tin after baking to let the water drain.

What am I doing wrong? I've tried different apples... I tried slicing thinner... help!
