heating vanilla

Posted by moibec, April 8, 2008

Anybody know why vanilla is usually added after cooking something? I made an apple pie today and in my haste added the vanilla to the filling which I cooked before dumping it into the crust. The filling after baking had a funny flavor (and yeah, it is fresh vanilla, not old) and I'm wondering if heating it may have altered the flavor.

I really hate chemistry but I suspect there are times when a little knowledge is a good thing.
