I made this pie this year for a change from my standard sour cream apple pie recipe. I took the advice of halving the liquid and I always add more apples. It turned out great!

I was looking for a recipe for Apfel Schnitz Kuchen like my grandmother used to make and this definitely wasn't it--too liquidy and not enough flavour. There must have been eggs in it. I sure wish somebody had asked gramma to write down her recipe.

Could only use half of the cream. Too soupy, spilled over in oven.

If there were zero stars available, that is what I would give this recipe. Apple cream soup is what it was. I used up the apples that the kids weren't eating, only to waste a perfectly good pie shell and make a huge mess in my kitchen and inside my oven. Yuckie Poo!

After reading the reviews I figured I would try this recipe. I put the filling into 2 pie shells. Had to bake the pies for an extra 15 minutes so that they would set. When I finally tried a piece.. I was VERY disappointed. I found that the pie had very little flavour. I will definitely stick to a more traditional pie. This was not worth using 2 cups of half and half cream which can be very costly where I live.

I really should have listened to the ratings BUT I am a sucker for creamy fatening things like half & half. Over all the pie was ok I was a little dissapointed in the soup and water and the mess!!! Something was definately left out of the recipe!! But it made the crust taste WONDERFUL!

I'm sooo glad I found this recipe. It tastes like Apple pie ALA Mode. I'm also glad i read the reviews first. I divided the ingredients among two 9 inch pies shells. I didn't have any problems with overflow or the cream "setting".

Recipe was missing something...pie did not set-was apple soup in a shell. It also made enough filling for 10" deep dish, not 9" regular as specified. I added 1/4c Minute tapioca pearls sprinkled over top of cooked pie, then baked for 15 more min in order to save pie. In future, I would use less cream, less sugar, and keep the tapioca-adding it to cream mixture before pouring over apples.

I'm an experienced cook and this recipe looked great!! But, there was entirely too much liquid--it never "set". I wondered if something was left out of the recipe. Smelled great and would have been great had it firmed up.

The cook time was alot longer for me. I also added cornstarch to the cream mixture otherwise it will be liquidy.

I just put my pie in the oven and I already have a mess! I used a single 9 inch pie crust like the recipe calls for, however, I had sugar mixture leftover and I had about one cup of cream/butter mixture (mush) that would not fit in the pie pan. My pie was running over before I got it to the oven. Sadly, I will not attempt this recipe again.

I scooped the apples out of the liquid and threw away the (butter-soaked on top and mush on the bottom) crust. It wasn't a total disaster. At least we had baked apple slices for dessert.

I did not like this recipe at all. It smelled wonderful while it was baking but did not taste as good as it smelled. It was too watery and did not slice well. The "cream" was lumpy and watery and was not at all what I expected. This one has been deleted from my recipe box.

I made this for Christmas this year, it was my first pie. I cannot tell you how well it went over with my family! I added a brown sugar and oatmeal topping on it and it tasted perfect.
