**These are the most agreed on suggestions from reviewers:
1. Add 1/4 cup of flour to the apple mixture to absorb apple juices.
2. Instead of mixing apples with 1/2 cup white sugar, use 1/4 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar.
3. In a bowl, mix the apples and sugars and cinnamon before putting it in the pie.
4. Use half brown sugar and half white sugar in the 1/3 cup of sugar used in the crumb mixture. Add a little ground cinnamon as well.
5. Bake at a lower temperature for a longer time.
