BY KEVIN McDONOUGH “Criminal Minds” (10 p.m., CBS, TV-14) enters its 14th season with its milestone 300th episode. While “NCIS” deals in a mounting body count among Navy petty officers, “Minds” concentrates on serial killers, the sicker the better. On a network known for casual violence and easy, breezy sadism, “Crimi- nal Minds” has stood out as particularly lurid. Actor Mandy Patinkin (“Homeland”) left the show after a couple of seasons, decrying its steady diet of murder and rape. He said appearing on the series was “destructive to my soul.” Some viewers have problems with the florid violence of shows like “American Horror Story: Apocalypse” (10 p.m., FX, TV-MA). But at least those series own up to their excesses. CBS peddles “Criminal Minds” as perfectly “normal” television, and that’s far creepier. • The detective work on the series “Se- crets of the Dead” (10 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings) tends toward the academic. But tonight’s helping, “The Woman in the Iron Coffin,” kicks off with two New York City cops sporting accents as thick as a sandwich from Katz’s Deli. They were called to a scene in Queens, where construction workers said they found a woman’s body shoved into something resembling an iron pipe.

BY AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN

here's no better way to enjoy fall's abundant Tapple harvest than in a towering deep-dish pie. Unfortu- nately, this dessert often yields unevenly cooked, shrunken apples swimming in an ocean of their own exuded juices atop a pale, soggy crust.

We wanted each slice to be dense with juicy apples, framed by a buttery, flaky crust. A combination of sweet and tart apples, tossed with a little brown sugar, salt, lemon and cinnamon, promised a perfectly balanced filling. Precooking the apples solved the shrinking problem, helping them hold their shape in the oven while also eliminating any excess liquid, and thereby protecting the bottom crust. We mounded the cooled slices in our pie plate, covered them in the top crust, and baked. Our sky-high apple pie emerged golden brown and chock- full of tender apples, filling our kitchen with the homey, comforting aromas of this autumn favorite. Good choices for tart apples are Granny Smiths, Empires or Cortlands; for sweet we recommend Golden Delicious, Jonagolds or Braeburns. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
