Aunt Carol's Apple Pie

“Everyone in the family has something that they're the best at making. I make the best cookies, my sister, Carol, makes the best pies in the whole world! . . . no competition in our family! This recipe includes an ingredient called free flowing brown sugar. This is a non-clumping or caking version of ordinary brown sugar. It has a lower moisture content then the traditional one, which makes it free flowing much like granulated sugar. It is available at most specialty supermarket. If it is not available in your part of the world, use regular brown sugar and make sure it is broken up, free of clumps. Macintosh or Granny Smith apples are the best choices for apple pie because they are the least mushy apples. ”

this pie was okay. I only gave it 2 stars because it was SO sweet. I don't like my apple pie that sweet. I wish I had thought to cut down on the amount of sugar but since the reviews were so good I stuck to the recipe. I used a variety of different apples (we had gone apple picking) so maybe they were sweeter as well so less sugar could have been used. Eh...I won't make this pie again.

The crust came out excellent and I will bake it this way next time. However, too much sugar for me and I thought there was too much flour. It wasn't juicy due to all the flour. I'd cut down on brown sugar and probably white sugar. Crust was Excellent though!

This pie was the first pie I ever made. I used Pillsbury 9 inch pie crusts and made a lattice top. This pie was so delicious!!! At first I couldn't figure out how to stir the apples and sugars and flour together. There was just so much powder that wouldn't stop being powdery. I figured out that actually tossing the apples around to get the moist cinnamony moist filling. This pie was just so delicious. My family can't stop raving about it.

One of the best apple pie recipes I have ever made!! I also used to Pillsbury pre-made pie crusts but with the sugar on top you really couldn't tell. I added a little more cinnamon than the recipe called for and about a tablespoon of lemon juice and it turned out amazing. My boyfriend said it was the best he had ever tasted. Him and his friend ate the whole pie in one night!

Did not care for this pie at all. It was too sticky and thick.

This was the very first apple pie I ever made (pretty sad for 27!) and it turned out AMAZING! So easy and good, awesome appearance- I did the lattice top and sprinkled sugar on that. I used Ida Red apples (was trying to get rid of them) and they were great. Cooking time came our perfect. I even took a picture and posted it on facebook and eveeryone was VERY impressed :) It was sweet, but I liked it that way. Great ala mode.
