Add me to the thousands of reviewers who are raving about this recipe! I used a solid top crust instead of the lattice, and poured most of the butter-sugar syrup directly onto the apples before I added the top. I did save a bit of syrup to pour over the top of the pie, and that part was really yummy after the pie was baked, sort of like a caramel topping. But I do have one word of advice - if you choose to do it this way, make LOTS of piercings or cutouts in the top crust, and make a tall enough outside edge on the crust to allow for some "runoff" of the topping while baking. However, I must say that after some grumbling about the mess in the bottom of the oven, my husband took one bite of this pie and pronounced it the best apple pie he had ever tasted!
