I've made this pie twice. The first time it was really runny but I learned a lesson. Instead of pouring the apple mix into the pie crust, spoon it in. The second time I made it, it was perfect. My whole family ate it up in one night!!

This pie was awesome!! The whole family loved it at Thanksgiving. It only took about 10 minutes to put all together and stick it in the oven. So simple!

I JUST made this pie tonight as a test for Thanksgiving and for a bake sale at my church. My mother loves the test pie I made. However, a few modifications were made after reading the reviews....I used the recepie for apple pie off of the pillsbury pie crust box which includes salt. The salt helps with the too sweet taste that some reviewers complained about. I also found that spooning the apples into the pie crust as opposed to pouring the mixture in helps cut down on the runniness of the pie. Spooning the mixture into the crust allows you to control the amount of juice that goes in. I left some juice in the bowl (approx 2 tblsp) and the consistency was perfect. We cut the test pie while it was still smoking and it wasn't runny at all. I also added walnuts after putting the carmel over the apples and mixed about 2 tblsp of caramel in my apple mixture before spooning it in the crust (I used hot caramel topping by smuckers). I also only used 1/2 of a 12oz jar of caramel per pie. After baking, I brused the crust with butter and sprinkled a little bit of sugar on top and then drizzled caramel over the top crust. Now I just have to perfect my skills regarding sealing the crust together!!!!

This was the first apple pie I have ever made and it was so easy! People couldn't believe that I made it myself. I used Marzetti's caramel apple dip and cashews. I will be making this pie again!

Delicious!!! I used a bunch of different kinds of apples (because I was making applesauce and apple butter). I used an extra tablespoon of cornstarch and didn't measure the carmel or nuts, just sprinkled. I also used store bought crust (a little salty). It was so good. My family gobbled it up. It was a little juicy, but delicious juice!!! I will make this again for sure.

This was a huge hit last Thanksgiving when I made it. I followed the instructions of a friend and used Granny Smith apples, but I would just use red ones next time because the cook time needs to be increased dramatically if you use them. My only complaint is that I hate when recipes state an amount of cups (for the apples) without an estimated amount of apples that are required. As an inexperienced baker, I didn't know how many to buy.

Very tasty. Used walnuts instead of pecans and half Golden Delicious, half Granny Smith. Next time I'll do a different crust -- I used Pillsbury refrigerated crusts and they just weren't very good.

This was my first attempt at an apple pie, and it was pretty good. I also didn't check ahead, and assumed granny smiths were the apple of choice. I ended up with a runny pie that tasted fabulous. I made my own caramel sauce from a recipe on the back of a corn syrup bottle - delish! Everyone at Thanksgiving enjoyed the pie. Thanks for the recipe!

This pie was 'ok'... I actualy made it for tomorrow's feast but the presentation was not what I had hoped so I snuck a piece. First of all, the caramel leaked out of the pie plate and onto the top and bottom of the pie, not enough to make a huge mess, but enough to ruin the presentation for me. Second, tastewise, it was very, very sweet. I had to grab a glass of milk to finish my slice. This was my 'new' recipe to try this year for Thanksgiving, thanks for letting me try. I probably will not make it again, though.

I made some modifications to this pie, and it turned out great. Instead of a double crust, I made a crumb topping out of cinnamon, brown sugar, flour and chopped pecans; I reduced the sugar to 1/4 cup of white and about 2 or 3 tablespoons of brown, and I added half a jar of Smucker's ice cream topping caramel. The pie was perfect at 45 minutes in the oven, and it tasted SO GOOD. Half of it's gone already and it's still hot...will be a keeper.

I used golden delicious apples so we cut back on the sugar. I also used flour instead of the cornstarch and added some nutmeg. Everyone loved eat. Just like eating a caramel apple but a whole lot easier. Next time we want to make sure we have some ice cream. Yummy!

I've been playing around with creating my own caramel apple pie recipe for a few years and this is the one I started with. Originally mine were also to runny inside. I used some tips from another website about pies and did the following: Subsitute the constarch for 2 Tbsp Tapioca (ground) - the tips said to use Tapioca flour or granulated tapioca but we live in a small town and can't find either, so I bought the tapioca in a box and ground it to near flour in my food processor. The tip didn't say how much to add but the Tapioca box said to use 2Tbs for a fruit pie. Also, I sprinkled the bottom crust with cinnamon sugar (this is supposed to make the bottom crust crispier) and also sprinkled the bottom crust with 2Tbs ground oats to help absorb any excess moisture. I used 5-6 granny smith apples with this method and it's not too runny at all. Very nice actually. Now, my problem is that I tried using the individually wrapped caramels (to help eliminated having so much liquid in the pie). Do Not use individually wrapped caramels... the are way to chewing and don't spread out or melt like I had hoped they would. Also, I used a crumb topping made from flour, butter, brown sugar and pecans which goes very good with this pie. On my next effort I'm going to try "Grandma's Secret Pie Crust" recipe from this site and either make homemade caramel or try to find a thicker version in the jar. Happy Baking!!

This would have been a good recipe if I had known which apples to use. When cut open, the pie was filled with water which I later found out was caused by the type of apples I used. I may try this again with different apples.

This is one of the most delicious apple pies I've ever made! I used gala apples! I had to leave out the pecans (my mom has dentures....), but it was still GREAT!
