Very good, altho I should've added more cornstarch, was kinda runny, but apples do cook down quite a bit and I stuffed that crust!

This was my first-ever apple pie from scratch and it was so easy and simple. The only very mild complaint I had about it was that it was far too sweet, I'm going to use half the sugar next time I make it. I did add a dash of nutmeg and a lattice top crust, but other than that stuck to the recipe and it wasn't watery. I'm very pleased with how it came out and will be making it again (with a bit less sugar).

This was the tastiest and easiest pie to make. I had never made a pie before so I was concerned how it would turn out. To my delight everyone raved about it and asked for seconds.

If you are looking for a basic apple pie recipe, you found it here. Sometimes we need comfort food and this pie with a scoop of icecream is all you need. Easy recipe, I do add a little extra cinnamon and I also brush my crust with a little honey diluted with a few drops of water to give it a shiney glaze, this is done as soon as it comes out of the oven.

Great taste but way to runny. I will make again and add flour. Thanks for sharing.

My 18-year-old daughter's favorite dessert is the apple pie. When I told her I was trying this recipe, she cringed. I went exactly as described and now I am "not allowed" to use any other. My daughter states the cinnamon is what does the trick, plus fresh apples, which my other recipe called for neither. (It is now referred to as 'the fake recipe'.) I have made your apple recipe a few times already and each time, it is very delicious. It is going down in my hall of fame recipe book. Thank you!

Great, simple recipe. Pie was a bit too runny though. How do I make the insides gel more so the juices don't all run as soon as I serve a piece?

Oh so simple and oh so tasty. As the saying goes, "this was as easy as pie". My husband kept raving how awesome this was and going on about it being the BEST apple pie he's ever eaten. This was my first time to make apple pie without opening a can of filling. A lot easier than I thought and after this, I'm never going back to canned again! I used frozen pie crust and Granny Smith apples. I'll make this again and again, thanks, Carol.

I baked two pies using this recipe as written. Used Pillsbury Refridgerated Pie Crusts and Ida Red apples. Took them to a birthday party and got rave reviews from everyone! My sister had more the next day and had to call me to tell me just how wonderful it was. PERFECT recipe for apple pie! Pure and simple. I'm baking another now, using apple pie spice instead of just cinnamon. Yum! Great with ice cream on top too, of course. I also found I had no need to cover the edges of the pie with foil for some reason. I'm not sure if it's the crust I used, or because I turned the oven down to 325 and just let it bake a bit longer. Either way, we were quite happy. And to make sure your bottom crusts are totally done... use a pyrex pie plate, so you can take the pie out and LOOK at the bottom to check for browning. Works every time!

Great recipe. First time for me to make apple pie from scratch. I don't think I had a deep enough pan because with the filling I was able to make two pies. This one impressed my inlaws. They took one of the pies home. EASY and yummy....definitely I do again recipe.

My fiance loves apple pie and he said this pie was OUT OF THIS WORLD it was so good. He practically inhaled it. I sprinkled some vanilla over the apple/sugar/cinnamon and I used 1 cup of sugar instead. I also used more butter - I placed pats of butter on top of the filling instead of little pieces. The thickness of the sauce was beautiful WITHOUT flour. There is nothing better than homemade! Definitely a five star recipe that can be modified to how you like it! Next time I will use some nutmeg and ground cloves. A winner if I ever made one!

I don't know what I did wrong but my came out a litt runny. I did add 1 tbl of lemon and vanilla and two tbl of flour so that it wouldn't come out runny, but it still did. I think my apples might have been too juicy. I will try again with different kind of apples, and maybe that should fix it. It was still super yummy though.

Great pie! I made it with the added vanilla mentioned above (I just sprinkled it on) and left out the butter, but it still tasted unbelievable. Works really well with an apple-crumble type top.

Here's what I did for 2 sour apple pies with a heart lattice top crust (see picture): Mix thinly sliced Granny Smith apples and double the remaining ingredients along with 2 Tbls. Flour, 2 Tbls. Lemon Juice, ½ Tsp. Vanilla and ½ Tsp. Nutmeg in a large bowl. Add this filling to 2 pie pans and top with lattice and hearts made from leftover dough. Brush top crust with egg wash (1 egg and 1 Tbls. milk beaten) to get a nice golden brown crust. Cover crust edges and hearts with foil held on with toothpicks so they don't over-brown. When pie comes out of oven, remove foil and toothpicks and sprinkle crust with a cinnamon sugar mixture. I used brown sugar instead of white for the filling. Add more sugar to get a sweeter pie.

Unfortunately, I read the reviews while my pie was baking. I worried the whole time that it would be runny. I did everything according to the recipe, but did leave it cook about 10 minutes longer until it was brown. We cut into it while it was warm, and it was perfect! The worrying was for nothing. I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for sharing. This is a keeper! UPDATE: I put all the sliced apples in a zip-lock bag and poured the cinnamon sugar mixture over them; shook gently, then filled the pie shell.
