I did not follow directions to the letter. I used a bit more sugar and brown sugar, fresh cranberries, no allspice. used over riped granny smiths apples, no brandy. Twas the best pie I have ever made. Just to make sure I let my wife taste it too. She was blown away as well.

This pie was a hit at our Thanksgiving! I'm not a fan of allspice, so I used cinnamon instead. I also used Granny Smith apples for a little extra tart kick. The filling is a perfect combo of sweet, spicy and tart with the cranberries. Definitely a keeper!

This recipe is amazing!! I added my own twist by using pink lady apples, and added a teaspoon of both cinnamon, and ginger. My whole family loved it, and begged for me to make it again!

I love the different ingredients in this pie. I've made it several times and it always comes out great. I use half the cranberries, though. Just enough to get a little kick!

Good. A little different because of the allspice, but we prefer it with plain cinnamon.

This pie was outstanding. I didn't have any brandy (imagine that, I'm from Wisconsin) so I added Kahlua instead. I didn't have allspice so I added cinnamon and nutmeg. I used a combination of Rome and Jonathon apples. I made one with a double crust and another with a crumb topping. Both were delicious. I was afraid the dried cranberries (Craisons) would be too chewy but they were just perfect and a delicious addition.

One pound of apples equals 2 large, 3 medium, or 4 small apples. You need 4.5 large apples, or 6.75 medium, or 9 small apples for this recipe.

Great Pie! Tried it for Thanksgiving and it was a champ. I had extra of the filling though, but hey, good for a new half size pie. My apples, they were crunchy ... I cheated by not cooking the filling long enough, and my family loved it that way. My boyfriend can't resist it specially if I serve it hot with Ice Cream on top of it.
