This was the very first pie I have ever made from scratch and it was great! I followed some reviewers and made a few changes to the recipe an found some of their tips very helpful. 1. I used the no fail pie crust recipe from this site. 2. I brushed the bottom crust with egg whites before filling. 3. I prepared the lattice top before I started making the pie. 4. I used 6 granny smith apples instead of 8. 5. I added 1 Tbs. of corn starch, 1 Tsp cinnamon, dash of nutmeg and 1 Tbs. of vanilla to the syrup mixture. I took out a Tbs. of water to make up for the added Tbs of liquid from the vanilla. 6. I mixed 2/3 of the syrup with the apples before putting in pan and drizzled the remaining 1/3 over the top. 7. I baked the pie at 350 for the entire time and let it cook for an additional 20 min. because the apples were not quite done yet. It turned out great! I did not have any problems others had mentioned: no soggy crust, no overflow issues, the apples were tender... Definite keeper!
