Hi Sue, to tell when your pie is done, look for juices bubbling around the edges or through the slits in the top crust. The juices should bubble for at least 5-10 minutes, which will ensure the apples have cooked all the way through thoroughly. Placing the pie lower in the oven shouldn't change your standard baking time drastically, but it doesn't hurt to check on it early to ensure it's browning nicely and not too much. You can always use a pie shield or foil to cover any spots that are browning too fast if you don't see the juices bubbling. Happy pie baking! Kye@KAF
