My grandma's pie recipe keeps getting ruined by people using the wrong sugar
Everyone I know swaps in regular white sugar for the powdered stuff and then wonders why the filling turns out runny. I watched my aunt do it last Thanksgiving and the pie was basically soup. Has anyone else watched a family recipe get butchered like that?

Ten years ago I would've said sugar is sugar, but watching my grandma's apple pie turn into apple soup changed my mind fast.

Oh man, that apple pie soup story hits close to home. I once tried to make a "healthy" version of my mom's banana bread with some fancy date syrup, and it came out looking like a brick that had been left out in a rainstorm. No one would even try a slice, not even my dog who eats grass clippings. Have you ever had a baking experiment go that wrong?
