I make an apple with more apples than recipe calls for, It is really high & packed. Can it be cooked at lower temperature & longer time? The regular recipe is at 400 degrees for 50-60 mins.My crust is a little overdone but apples need more cooking time?

I would suggest removing your pie and covering it in aluminium foil this should prevent the crust from burning any further, then drop the temperature slightly and put it back in the oven check it in 10-15 min time, and see how it is, if not pop it back in and repeat cook and check.

When I bake pies I always start them off in a very hot oven, 425F and then turn down the heat after 15 minutes to 350-375F. That helps in getting the flakiness I love. But for apple pies, what I love doing so that the apples are well cooked and the crust is perfect, plus it helps to avoid the pie filling from being too liquid, is to cook the apples in a skillet with some butter and sugar and any spices. And then when they are partially cooked, I add it to the pie shell that has been sitting in the freezer or fridge so it's nice and cold. A quick cover with the top crust/crusts and into the oven it goes for at least 50-60 minutes, with the hig temp first and the lower one to finish it off.
