I read through all the reviews before attempting this recipe. I took the submitters advice and sprinkled flour over the bottom crust so it wouldn't be soggy. I also cut back the brown sugar in the filling by half so it wouldn't be too sweet (as quite a few reviewers commented it was too sweet) and added nutmeg to the topping and filling. I used pecans in the topping instead of almonds only because my husband dosen't like almonds. I thought there was a little too much topping, I didn't use it all. I think next time I make the crumble topping, I'll increase the butter. This came out very well, it was a very pretty pie. The issue I had was though it looked quite pretty, once I cut it, it bled all over the place and fell apart. And it didn't taste good with the extra flour on the bottom to keep it from being soggy. We didn't go past that. I'm sorry.It was pretty. I feel bad that it just didn't work out for us.

I did use granny smith but left out the lemon juice and it was good this way. I just forgot it, but since an ealreir review said granny smiths were bitter, I think it was a good thing. I also skipped the almonds in the topping because I didn't have any, and it was great. The second time I made it, I made it in a 9x13 aluminum pan and did 1 1/2 times the recipe and I used pecans because it is what I already had. I drizzed it with a little of the carmel sauce for looks too. I used the No roll Pie Crust I from this site and it was great too. Mixed the dough right in the pan I spread it in. Very easy. Great recipe. taking it to a wienie roast tonight. Oh, I did double the cinnamon in the topping, but I love cinnamon.

Very tasty! Mine was a little runny, but this did not detract from eating it all. Perhaps next time I will add a little tapioca to my apple mixture to thicken it up. I baked the crust per a previous suggestion and it kept it from being soggy.

I made this pie and it turned out very soupy. I did add extra flour and cornstarch like some of the other reviews said they did, but it stilled turned out runny.

I made this for an extended family gathering last year, and it received rave reviews. I used half green, half red apples in the pie and chopped pecans instead of almonds in the topping. Someone's ex-BIL, who never eats or converses with anyone, and usually only stays 15 minutes, sat and ate three pieces, swore it tasted just like his deceased sister's pie, and chatted sociably with me for 45 minutes. He apparently later called the host (who nearly keeled over in shock) to add more raves for the pie.

This turned out fabulous! I doubled the recipe and made two pies, and they were delicious. Gave the other between family and friends. I took a lot of the reviews and added flour to the bottom of the pie and 1 tsp cornstarch to thicken it up. I wasn't runny at all! I also omitted the caramel during the baking process, since everyone said you couldn't taste it. I added the caramel on each piece before serving, and you still couldn't really taste it over all the other flavors, but with vanilla ice cream it was great. I took a tip off the pie shell box and after baking for 15 minutes, I put foil around the crust's edges, and they baked perfect! Will be making this again next year.
