I made this pie last night, and will make it again in the future, with some adjustments.
I used 8 Granny Smith Apples, per the recipe, but next time I may only use 6, as I had a lot of apple slices that I couldn't fit into the pie.
I may try doubling the filling. I did add vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon, and poured the mixture on top of the apples instead of through the top of the crust. However, it didn't blend in with the apples at all, so next time I'll make more of it and mix it in with the apples. (I was QUITE tempted to take the filling mixture and put it over ice cream, it looked/tasted divine all by itself!) The pie did come out a bit watery.
UPDATED 12/04/06 - I made this pie again for Thanksgiving and just wanted to come back to say it was to die for! I made a few adjustments, as I had planned - I cut down on the number of apples and I doubled the filling. To combat the wateriness, I tossed the apple slices in 3 tbsp of flour to which I had added cinnamon and nutmeg. After tossing the apples in the flour, I mixed them with half of the filling and poured that into the bottom crust. I put on the top crust, poked a lot of holes in it because I'm awful with pie crusts, and poured the remaining half of the filling over the top of the crust and through the holes. Absolute heaven! Just make sure you put a cookie sheet covered in tin foil underneath it because it's a bit leaky that way, but SO WORTH IT. :)
