I used apples from our apple tree for this recipe and it turned out pretty well. The apples were small so we ended up using 9 or 10. I played with it a little, added a few tablespoons of unsweetened applesauce and a tsp of vanilla before folding in the apples. I also added about a 1/4 cup of rasins and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans and sprinkled the top with sugar and cinnamon before baking. The finished product wasn't as pretty as the picture shown but it tasted really good.

This was not bad at all. I made some changes and doubled the recipe and used 10 small apples also I put cinnamon sugar over the top. Turned out great!

Not bad ... tasted more like bread pudding with apples than a pie per say, but still a good sweet treat.

Pretty darn good! I was a little nervous in trying this recipe because of some of the other reviews, but I'm glad I did. I didn't have any pre-made pie crusts and hate making my own crusts with a passion. When I mixed everything together, it did seem a little dry so I added some soy milk. I also added a little less sugar than called for, a dash of nutmeg and little more cinnamon. Because we didn't have any eggs on hand, I used egg replacer. It turned out great. I think what some people need to realize when making any recipe is that sometimes you need to play around with it a little. I don't necessarily mean to make it completely unrecognizable to the original recipe, but make a few small modifications if something isn't working (try adding more moisture, or not as much, different spices, etc). This really is a nice recipe (hubby even loved it) that is probably in need of a bit of tweaking by whoever cooks it, but this is a keeper! Thanks for posting it.

I have a recipe close to this except it has 2 eggs instead one. Also, it has 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. If you have trouble with the recipe above you may want to try my suggestions.

So I've just taken this pie out of the oven had had my first bites. I love it but I can't say I didn't change it a bit. Based on others reviews I added about a 1/4 cup more sugar and added a dash of nutmeg, dash of cloves, a tsp of vanilla and about a tsp of pumpkin pie spice and another 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. I chopped the apples and added about 6 oz of fresh raspberries. I think its a great success but would probably rather call it a cobbler that a pie since the crust is throughout. Seems like a great recipe thats interchangable with whatever fruits you want.

I thought this was good, I did follow someones advise and up'd the butter. It is more of a apple cobbler type dessert but it does have the taste of apple pie. I will make it again!

I like that you didnt have to make or buy a crust with this one. the first time I made it i followed it word for word, the 2nd time I changed it,I also doubled it. Well most of it, I only put 1.5 cups of flour and after I mixed butter/sugar/eggs, I added the flour AND the apples and mixed it around. Also used 1 cup of butter instead. Worked out better and had more of a crust like appeal to it. My 3 boys LOVED it...also sprinkled cinnamon on top of it.

This is a great dessert! I fudged a bit because I was using up some blemished apples that were given to me and there were more than the recipe called for. I also used apple pie spice that I had. I believe it's hard to ruin this recipe, which makes it perfect for me!

I think this recipe is GREAT!!!! I've made it for taking to other people's houses, as well as to make it for us here at home. Great with a scoop of frozen ice cream/frozen yogurt! I've even used Splenda in it, it is just a great recipe all around!!!! Thank you!!!

I thought this was a great recipe, however, it needs to be tweaked depending on your own taste. I added more cinnamon & also nutmeg. It is not very sweet, which is another thing I liked about it. Also, it comes out more like a cake than a pie. I also doubled the recipes & used a larger pan.

This worked out great, I added a 1/2 cup more sugar and about another teaspoon of cinnamon. I think it could have used more apples, but overall I thought it was really good. It crusted on the top like said, and it was really easy to make.

We love this recipe because it's a lot less work than your normal apple pie... BUT... it can come out a bit like "cake" if you don't measure the flour correctly. We also tend to put less sugar in it, only because we don't like our deserts so sweet. That being said, the best compliment I can give is that 9 of the last 10 apple pies that we've made have been this recipe!

This recipe turned out very well. I made a delicious bottom and top crust. The only thing missing was the fluted edge. The filling was a little bland for my taste so I added more cinnamon and nutmeg. The filling seemed a little dry but not too dry. I did let the pie set on the table for about 20 minutes before putting it into the oven as other "makes its own crust" recipes direct. I may try adding more liquid next time but that may also make the top crust disappear.

This was an O.K. recipe. I found it fairly bland, but my 14 month old LOVED it. I don't think I'll make it again & if I did, I think I'd add more sugar & perhaps something to make it a bit more moist? The only thing really great about is how easy it is to put together.
