This pie was interesting...it seemed that the cream portion of the pie was absorbed by the apples...I was expecting more creaminess I guess. I added some extra apples too. To me, plain old apple pie tastes better and is less effort.

This was real good but I agree with the idea that this would be better with a fruit more associated with cream like cherries or berries. I also think it taste better warm.:)

I had never tried anything like this before, and wasn't entirely prepared to like it. I suppose I made it more out of curiosity than anything. It was actually delicious...and I will make it again and again. We have one in the freezer and it's going with us to Thanksgiving dinner! :)

I made this pie using the "basic flaky pie crust" recipe from this site and it was delicious! i added cinnamon to the pie crust, which i think gave it added flavor. i used two large granny smiths, and i think there was plenty of apple, although if you have a really deep pie dish i might use another. thanks for a great recipe!

This was a Pillsbury Bakeoff Contest recipe from several years ago. I couldn't find my copy anywhere, but luckily ran across it here. It's been a favorite at Thanksgiving for years. I always add an extra apple for a more "appley" pie.

YUMMY!!!! This is the best apple pie I ever had! The only thing I would change next time I make this is to put in a couple of more apples and a bit more cinnamon.

This recipe was soooo good! I added 1-1/2 tsp of cinnamon, instead of just 1/4 tsp. This is a pie I'm adding to my holidays!

This is soooo goood. I am not a pie maker, but I had a bunch of farm-fresh apples to use so I decided to give it a shot. It was delicious. The apples I used were sweet, not tart, and I increased the number of them. You could easily use 4-5 apples, and I'd even suggest it. The cream inside really stays separate from the apples and is a delicious surprise (I did serve it cooled as recommended). I also used Jiffy brand pie crust mix which was quite good. My mother has always been the "apple-pie queen", but this recipe rivaled hers--and I came home from our family get-together with an empty pan!

Excellent!! This recipe will be my regular apple pie recipe. This was my first time trying a cream type apple pie and I now prefer it over the traditional version. I used 2 granny smith and 2 honecrisp apples. Otherwise all other ingredients remained the same.

I have never liked apple pie but this one I love. My brothers girlfriend loves pie and she told me that this is now her favorite. She has requested this pie for her wedding. Thank you for the recipe.

It's super yummy. I had a piece of the pie only letting it sit in the fridge for 2 hours, I had another after letting it sit for 1 day, and today is day 2 and it tastes even better!!! Each day had a different flavor and I loved all of them. I can't stop eating it. The only thing that I did different to the recipe is that I added 2 dashes of clove and 2 dashes of nutmeg to the apple mixture.

This pie is delicious! The cream in the pie blends nicely with the apples. I did use 3 to 4 apples and doubled the cinnamon. Great warm with French vanilla ice cream.

Don't be pushed away from this one by those who say that this is not an apple pie for apple pie lovers. It is. The custard makes it less traditional, but it's still fantastic. I made 2 of them for a small dinner party- enough for everyone to have some and some left over, which was greatly appreciated. It got rave reviews. I, like others, also used three apples in each one, plus some apple pie spice with the apples (and more cinnamon) and I also added a little cinnamon to the glaze which added just the right extra touch in my opinion. Try this- you'll love it. Oh- and warm each slices in the microwave about 25-30 seconds. It's so much better that way!

Great flavor and texture--someone said it tasted like those little pies you buy at the supermarket with Snoopy on them. I think that's mainly due to the glaze. Yummy!
