Apple Pie
SUBMITTED BY:
Maggie Greene
"I remember coming home sullen one day because we'd lost a softball game. Grandma, in her wisdom, suggested, 'Maybe a slice of hot apple pie will make you feel better.' One bite...and Grandma was right."

Just a great all American apple pie,very similar to the one I've made for years using both white and brown sugars. Adjust the spices to your liking (I don't care for ginger in my apple pie and prefer a little less nutmeg) but you cannot go wrong with this recipe. Just a note to those who have had problems with the pie being runny...make sure you start your pie with room temperature apples. Also, you must let the pie cool before cutting to allow the juices to thicken.

This is the most original and most fantastic pie I have ever made. I am 59 years old and my great Grandmother and my Grandmother made it almost like this. We are talking over 150 years here. I did not change a thing except changing 7 cups of Apples to 7 Apples of different varieties and the juice of one whole lemon instead of 1 tablespoon. I will make this again and maybe add a little bit of raisin. SUPER!!!

If I could give this pie10 stars I would!!! I'm not sure what it is about this recipe, but it was by far the best apple pie I have ever made! I did use 8 cups of apples instead of 7, and did add just a 1/3 tablespoon more of the flour just to make sure it did not run (juices). I brushed on milk instead of the egg whites and then sprinkled the sugar and it looked beautiful! I used store bought pie shells and I kid you not when I say the first piece cut came out perfectly!!!!! I almost wanted to take a picture of it. Usually the first peice is a mess and then the juices run all over the pie pan. Not with this pie! And everyone loved it!! I think the difference with this recipe is the baking time and temperatures. Every other apple pie I have baked had one temperature. maybe that had something to do with it??? Not sure, but I will be making this again for Thanksgiving...that is for sure!!! This is a keeper!

Very tasty apple pie. I didn't use ginger though, since I would have had to go back to the store. The nutmeg more than made up for it. The recipe was easy to read and follow, the pie was easier to eat! 09/24/07 Thanks, Pam C. Bellingham WA.

Very juicy mixture, leading to a very tasty pie--though, perhaps, more kitchen clean-up than expected! A note for anyone (like myself) new to pie-baking: it's probably a good idea to cook this (or any fruit pie) on a baking sheet, or at least to put some foil underneath to catch spillage. Another remedy might be to add a little more flour than called for, but I wouldn't want to mess with the flavor of the pie itself, so I'll offer no measurements. All in all, delicious!

What a yummy pie, and so very easy! I made it several times, changing the recipe a little each time before writing a review. I give it 5 Stars for the making eaxctly according to the recipe and also give it 5 Stars with minor modifications. (I really hate constantly reading certain reviews when the reviewer admits to not making it according to the recipe and then rates the recipe low based on their changes!! I mean, Duh! There should really be rules against doing that) Anyway, with my picky family, we preferred the crust brushed with milk and cinnamon. I also used the frozen premade crust made by Mrs. Smith, which after trying all of the premade crusts, that seems to be closest to my gram's homeade crust. Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe, it's a keeper!

This was my first attempt at making a pie. It was really easy to make, although it was a little too sweet for me. I'll try this again with a little less sugar next time.
