This is a good apple pie but did add about a quarter cup of water to the syrup mixture as it did thicken too much. As with every recipe it is all about a matter of personal taste and I would have added spices to the mixture. Unlike other reviewers I did not have a problem with a soggy bottom crust or it being to sweet or tart. I think a cook really has to adjust the measurements themselves based on the end result of they syrup mixture. If it is too thick to pour, just add water until it thins out a bit. I am only giving this 4 stars as I feel it did need some spice, but the recipe is a very good one otherwise.

Delicious apple pie! Definitely coat the apples in the filling sauce before putting the apples in the bottom crust. And then drizzle just a a little more sauce on top BEFORE putting the lattice top on (I put all sauce in and it was way too sweet and wet). And then brush on some of the sauce on top of the lattice top to give it a nice color.

I use allrecipes alot! I have never found a recipe that really came out as great as this without substitutions! This is by far the BEST apple pie I have ever made or even tasted. I always thought all apple pies tasted pretty much the same and were all good until this. I made 2 pies so my husband could take one to work. His coworkers all agreed this was definitely the best! I have had several requests from them to send in more... Thanks for this wonderful recipe!

This was my first apple pie ever and I must say it was the best apple pie I've ever taste. It was super delicious. I did exactly what they ask changing the butter for a light margarine to cut out some calories and adding cinnamon for that special touch. I can't wait to repeat the recipe fo5r Thanksgiving.

FYI - there is an identical recipe by the name Grandma Ople's Apple Pie with way less reviews but does have 5 stars. Check it out.

I made this pie so far now, 4 times and everyone enjoyed it. I also tweak the pie, I added nutmeg and cinnamon and vanilla extract 2tsp to the pie and to my homemade pie crust. I cooked my crust for 15 mins and then I put the filling in the crust,then I just poured the syrup over the crust and and cooked it for 45 to 50 mins on 350.I'm allergic to fruit so I had my kids test it out for me and they at it within an hour ... Great recipe!!! I used the French Pastry Pie curst from this site. Using it for Thxsgiving....

I LOVED this pie...I rarely make apple pies because mine usually don't turn out as good as Mrs. Smith's frozen apple pie, but, this was better! I poured half the good goo over the apples, then used a regular top curst. I cut 2 large slits in the top crust and poured the rest of the sugar mixture over the top crust. It looked great and tasted even better. Thanks!

Sorry--maybe it was my apples, which is probably the case, but we prefer cinnamon in our pie and think the brown sugar was too much.

Yummy! I made this pie for a family get-together, and they raved over it! Heed the advice over keeping the syrup hot. I did not, and it solidified. :( This will be my primary apple pie recipe from now on.

The absolute best apple pie I have ever had. I was worried it would be to tart with the granny smith apples but it was perfect I only needed 5 apples rather than 8 and I put in a tsp of cinnamon, but the first time I made it I did it exact to the recipe and it was still perfect! My husband won't eat apple pie anymore unless its this recipe! Thank you so much!

I made this pie for company one night because I wasn't in the mood for a crumble top pie. It was fantastic. It was the best apple pie recipe I have ever tried. I added a little bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to the apples for a little extra flavor. Fantastic!
