I would give this recipe another star if it mentioned flour or cornstarch in the ingredients. Otherwise your pie will come out very runny! I add allspice, ginger, and nutmeg as well. It's better to mix all of the dry ingredients first and toss them with the apple slices. With these additions it comes out amazing every time.

Apple pies are best made simply. Classic recipe. I like to brush my top crust with a honey butter mixture toward the end of baking. Another way to make a fancy top is to roll out the dough and use a shaped cookie cutter (hearts, leaves, xmas trees, etc.) and just layer those all over the top.

I needed a bit fewer than 6 cups of apples to fill the pan, but in all other ways the recipe could be followed exactly. It has a very traditional flavor. However, its nothing remarkable or super memorable. Just a regular cinnamon and sugar apple pie.

This was awesome! Made it for Thanksgiving. I did follow some of the suggestions and I added two tbsp of flour and half a teaspoon vanilla extract. I also used 1/2 c brown sugar and 1/4 cup white sugar. I used a pre made crust, it was the type in the refrigerator and it came with two you could roll out. The bottom I just rolled and for the top I cut it into strips and layed it across. My husband said it looked and tasted like a deli pie. Thanks for sharing this! I'll definately make it again!!

Excellent pie. I made x1.5 the amount of crust I usually do and had enough to cover the whole pie. I used half white and half brown sugar. Instead of layering the apples and sugar mixture, I mixed the apple, sugars and cinnamon in a bowl and let it sit for a good half hour. Will definitely redo!

I baked this for a gathering this week. I was worried it wouldn't be good enough, but it was PERFECT ! I wanted something that the "older" folks could relate to as "old fashioned" cooking and it did so VERY Well ! TY It did though take forever to cook I am not sure why.

good recipe--easy, but being diabetic, i used splenda white-1/2 cup, splendid brown sugar-1/4 cup, lots of cinnamon-studies show it is good for diabetics--a touch of orange rind & 3 tbs of flour. i also used 8 cups of apples, the pie was huge. oops also instead of using butter or margarine. i sprayed the top liberally with parkay fat free butter spray. it turned out fine. i am hoping that i wont feel quite as quilty eating a piece of this at Thanksgiving.

I changed some stuff and it came out a lot better the 2nd time. I did 2/4c brown and 1/4 white sugar instead of 3/4c white sugar. I put some nutmeg in it also. On top of the latice i mixed 1 egg and some milk and egg washed the top of the pie and then sprinkled it with white sugar. I had to bake it about 10 minutes longer. Just wanna make sure you wait for the juices in the pie to bubble before removing from the oven.

Fabulous...though I did use some ideas from other reviewers to tweak the recipe; such as using brown sugar instead of white, 2TB flour, 1/2 tsp vanilla & 1/4 tsp nutmeg and then I brushed crust with 1 beaten egg mixed with 1TB milk and sprinkled with white sugar. Won't be disappointed at all!

This recipe tasted great but it ended up a bit soupy. I think I added too much butter. Other than that I loved it! My friends kept asking me for more. I felt bad when my mother didn't get to get a piece because my Dad ate it all! I'll have to make it again some time!
