I added just a pinch of salt to the streusel topping but otherwise made as is. Great way to use up a store-bought pie crust I had in the freezer and a few Granny Smith apples.

Very good, solid recipe. Family liked a lot, even my husband who doesn't like desserts very much. I used Granny Smith apples and the pie was neither too sweet or runny. Also, the pie sat for about an hour before we cut into it, which helps the pie firm up and not be runny. I didn't freeze my crust. I used it straight from the fridge and the crust was fine, both around the edges and in the middle.

A good apple pie. A little sweet for my taste, especially the topping, so would cut back the sugar in the future. Not sure if I liked the lemon zest in the topping, so might leave that out next time to gauge our preference. The pie is gone though, so this recipe is still a keeper!

A delicious and flavorful pie. I baked the crust on 350 for ten minutes to keep it from getting soggy. The streusel topping helps it stand out from your average apple pie.

this is a good recipe. i used my own homemade butter crust and didnt have the other spices, so only used cinnamon, and i used gala apples. the crumb topping i expected to be a little more crunchy so i was disappointed in that. but i followed the directions on making the topping, so dont know why it wasnt. but overall, a good pie. made another one and cooked it 40 mins cuz i made my own crust and it seemed to turn out better

This is amazing! It turned out perfectly and paired beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

This may well be the most delicious apple pie recipe I've ever made. Both the filling and the streusel topping were very tasty and, in my opinion, a cut above all the rest. I used a combination of Granny Smith and Honey Crisp. I brushed the crust with egg white before putting in the filling and my crust was not the least bit soggy. I didn't have time to freeze the crust and don't see how that could have made it any better. Perhaps if you do the egg white thing, it isn't necessary. Thanks, Ginny, for an excellent recipe.

This was easy and tasty. Made this for the family Christmas dinner. Everyone loved it. I made another one just for hubby and me. Thank you for the good notes. Everyone loved the oatmeal topping.

I'm not a fan of apple pie, but my parents love it so I thought I'd give it a whirl for Christmas. It was good. I used a pre-made, deep dish frozen pie crust. It was a little soggy and I did prebake it, so next time I think I'll try brushing it with egg white. I used 6 small Jonathan apples, which was a bit more than 5 cups. I also used 3 level tablespoons of flour in the pie mix, and quick oats and liked the results just fine. I probably made and used a bit too much of the streusel topping because I knew I'd love it. Next time I will try another reviewer's idea and cut up some caramels to made it even yummier.
