I wish Ople was my Grandma!!! She really nailed a perfect apple pie with this recipe. The first time I made this exactly as written. Very good. The next time I tossed the apples with 1/2 squeezed lemon, 1 t. cinnamon and 1/4 t. each of allspice and nutmeg. Poured caramel sauce over apples and mixing in bowl before putting them in crust and covered with a full top crust. (It sure looked cute with my little pie-bird poking his head out the top of the crust.) Brushed top with egg wash and sprinkled with sugar before baking. I make this all the time now--what a great recipe!

OMG! This recipe is the bomb! You can't even tell you're eating ground turkey! For a 3 lb pkg of ground turkey, I add 2 tsp sea salt, doubled the rest of the spices, and added 1/2 t. ground thyme and 1 t. granulated garlic. I heated up a skillet on the spot (with a little canola oil) and fried up 2 small test patties. Hmmm..very good, but maybe I'dd add the 2 big Tbl maple syrup as other reviewers did...not so good. The sugar in the syrup carmelized (burned) on the outside--even on very low heat. I will use up this batch but leave out the maple syrup next time. Thanks for a great preservative free recipe!

This is my "go to" recipe I make all the time now. It always gets rave reviews. I used 4 bananas, 2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp allspice. Baked it in an angelfood or a 9in. springform pan (so the topping doesn't fall off) for 70 min. and before baking use the crumb topping from the Blueberry Coffee Cake III recipe from this site.
