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. Originally submitted to ThanksgivingRecipe.com.”

Delicious pie! My only change was letting the cut and coated apples drain in a colander for about 45 minutes. That let the excess fluid drain off some before loading the crust with he fruit. Which made the second attempt much less runny & it set up much better than my 1st. Thanks!

Great recipe, thanks for posting. I added vanilla and nutmeg like a few reviewers suggested. We ate it while still warm so it was pretty sloppy bit delicious anyway. I hope tomorrow it's set up more.

My first apple pie! I used 3 Granny Smith and 5 McIntosh, 3/4c white sugar, and 1/4 brown and it had just the right sweetness. Follow the recipe if using all Granny since they are so tart. The McIntosh gave it a little natural sweetness, and since they are very firm, did not get mushy. This is my go to apple pie recipe! Can't wait to make for Thanksgiving. I also used the Good Housekeeping pie crust recipe--it is very easy!

This was awesome! And not real hard to prepare. I saved time with store bought pastry. It disappeared!

I have been making this pie according to Aunt Carol for 9 years or so and I thought it's about time to give it a rating. I have been able to make excellent pie dough for many years, but the apple filling in this pie is the very best. My brother-in-law has cautioned me so many times about arriving to their home without an apple pie and risking being locked out of the house. ;o) I will continue to make this recipe as written and I thank Jo Ann Taylor and Aunt Carol for it.
