Grandma Ople's Apple Pie

“Tired of ordinary old apple pie? Well this fabulous recipe adds a delicious twist to the apply classic. Sliced, unadorned apples are mounded into a pie crust and topped with a lattice crust. Then, just before baking, a sweet, thick sugar syrup is poured carefully onto the crust. An hour later, the apples are tender and fragrant and the crust a glistening brown.”

Fantastic pie! Coworkers told me it was the best apple pie they've ever had!! I did add a teaspoon of cinnamon, two shakes of nutmeg, and a 1/2 cup of walnut chips to the apples though. I also recommend making the sauce AFTER everthing else is already ready, so you can just pour it on. The first time I made it, I did the sauce first, and it cooled before I could pour it on, didn't make for such a great pie! The second time I did it last, and it was FANTASTIC!

Make sure your apples are as crisp as possible. If they are the least bit mushy, you will get a cobler rather than a pie (still tastes wonderful, but to runny to serve as a pie)

This is the best apple pie I've ever had! I made a few (reviewer recommended) changes: 1. Tossed the apples with cinnamon and lemon juice before putting them in the pie. 2. Pre-Baked the pie crust. Other than those, I followed the recipe exactly -- WOW. Just wow. No need for whipped cream or other toppings, even.

delicious! I added 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg and I also decreased the sugar by half. I didn't have any granny smith apples on hand but it turned out fine!

Used macintosh apples - this was awesome. This will be my go-to recipe for apple pie.

Couldn't ask for a better apple pie. I used salted butter as well as added dashes of salt and cinnamon. I also added some blackberries. Only complaint is that the pie was runny. Maybe I could of cooked it longer or do less sauce? I mixed half of the sauce with the apples and drizzled the remaining sauce on top. I did a crumb topping so I did 1/2 cup of sugar inside and 1/2 cup for the crumb top (mixed with flour cinnamon and butter). Next time I made this recipe I am going to try to do 1/4 less sugar

I almost hesitate to rate this since it already has so many good ratings. However, as I'm getting ready to make another pie, I just had to share. This pie was Amazing! The sauce that goes on the pie is like the best caramel-y sauce ever. I could literally eat it with a spoon by itself. Everyone so far has enjoyed this pie. The *only* thing I changed in the recipe is that I split the apples between Granny Smith and Golden Delicious, just to reduce the tartness just a bit. Thanks for a great recipe!
