This is a wonderful basic apple pie recipe. I've made it several times now with excellent results. I normally use a blend of Granny Smith and gala or Fugi apples. Also, I find the crust to be very easy to assemble and work with (usually I'm terrible at crusts). This is definitely my "go-to" recipe for pie.

Fantastic recipe! I added some additional spices to the cake batter (about 3/4 tsp. each of nutmeg and ginger). But otherwise, didn't change a thing. This was SOOOOoooo delicious, and a real hit at Thanksgiving. Be sure to use all of your streusel and glaze! Oh, and baking time was about 75 min. for me using a convection oven. LOVE this!

This is cake is very good, but I wasn't all that impressed with the brown sugar filling/topping. I think it needs something more than nuts and brown sugar. Perhaps some butter and oats added to the mix would make a better "crumble"? Otherwise, very good flavor! I got a lot of compliments on this after serving it at a party.
