I've made this pie several times for my family. It has become a tradition after a trip to the apple orchard in mid-September. It is very tasty and the lemon gives it a "light" taste.

My husband was so happy w/this recipe. I made it w/apples off of our tree and didn't change a thing. He has raved about it to his family and friends. It looked so beautiful w/the eggwash/sugar over the top that I didn't want him to cut into it. I even thought of posting a pic of FB because I was so proud of myself. I didn't have a chance because as soon as it cooled it was half gone. Awesome recipe!!!!!

i just made this, but the first ones crust was super-dark, so i remade it and used a crust recipe for a different type of pie, and added some fresh ginger and a little bit more cinnamon. it turned out beautifully. tastes delicious, and is this perfect golden brown color. 4 stars only because of the crust in the actual recipe.

I also turned down the oven temp as suggested by others as it was browning too fast. The lemon zest gives this a nice flavor. My apples were not as tart as Granny Smith so the zest helped bring out the flavor.

i love this apple pie. instead of making slits ontop i made it a heart for mothers day and my mom loved it. also i mixed eveything together and then put it in the pie instead of putting it and mixing it in the pie.

My boys disliked the lemony citrus finish to the taste of this pie. I guess I spoiled them with my usual recipe....just apples, sugar, cinnamon....they don't even like nutmeg. Guess we all have to cook for our family's preferences. I thought it was too much lemon taste myself.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. Not too sweet, but great flavor.

I had my own gluten free crust and used this filling. It turned out amazing. A great balance of tang and sweetness. I switched the reg flour for brown rice flour. And scaled the recipe to using 4 cups apples because I had a regular pie shell, not deep dish.
