I am giving this apple pie four stars because it is missing some essential ingredients. With the modifications it is a truly great apple pie. I add 1/2-1 tsp. of cinnamon, depending on your tastes, and 1/8-1/4 tsp. of nutmeg. I also keep all of the other ingredients the same except I reduce the number of Granny smith apples to 6.

This recipe is great. Ive now made apple, pear and rhubarb pie with this recipe. Also made little mini rhubarb pies in small round non stick baking pans. All turned out delicious!

This was a good apple pie. I added cinnamon to the recipe. Thank you!

OMG this was amazing! I added a little cinamon to the apples. I would also cut the sugar in the sauce in half too. My family loved this pie! I would make it again! Thanks! ---UPDATE--- I made this pie again and with my changes, this pie gets 5 stars! amazing!

Delicious apple pie recipe. I only made a few modifications based off of other reviewers. First of all, I mixed the sugar/butter into the apples rather than pouring it on top. Then I used an egg white to brush the top of the pie to make it a nice golden brown. Also, I reduced the sugar to 1/3 cup of each white and brown rather than the 1/2 cup each. I used the pate brisee recipe from marthastewart.com and it turned out flaky, golden brown, and delicious. I would definitely recommend this recipe to make. I also added a bit of nutmeg, as well as some cinnamon to the apples. Overall this recipe was very easy and I made it all by myself, even though I am only 14. I used apples from my friend's apple tree (anna apples) and left the skin on for color.

Amazing.I luved the fact that it was a thick syrup that got poured over the apples.I did add a sprinkle of cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg for that special taste. After all whats an apple pie without cinnamon, and it makes the house smell great and brings back childhood memmories from mothers kitchen.Other than that i luved this recipe.For the first time attempting apple pie, it was wonderful.I made it for a girls nite and my friends luved it.Thank you for making my first pie experiance a great one.Keeping it forever and will pass it on.

This recipe was absolutely delicious. I made for Memorial day and the pan was empty in 30 minutes. And I doubled the recipe and baked it in a large 10x14, deep casserole baking pan. I recommend this recipe to any one that loves pies and cobblers. It is good alone, but adding some vanilla ice cream makes this a ridiculusly good dessert.

OK, you've probably read many reviews as to how delicious this pie is (and it really is!). What you've also read is the submitter forgot to list the cinnamon in the recipe or how you should forgo the lattice crust and a few other suggestions. Let me strongly suggest that you try this recipe unaltered at least once. The point is that this is a small twist on traditional apple pie, so no cinnamon (or nutmeg or cloves or raisins etc.). The lattice crust is essential because it lets you pour the caramel mixture over the top and it drains into the fresh apples underneath while leaving a thin coat on the lattice crust. It really isn't hard to do...there's even a short video of a teenager making a lattice crust pie for a dinner in honor of his mom's visiting friend. Check it out if you need some pointers. I also saw comments suggesting to use 6 apples instead of 8. Another suggestion I saw several times said to just put the pie in at 350 degrees for 1 hour and it's fine. I would say if you are using an 8" pie dish, sure, reduce it down to 6 apples but for a 9" dish, 8 apples was just right (I could have probably squeezed in one more). I would also strongly suggest following the baking instructions because the higher temperature helps set the bottom of the crust. With fresh fruit pies, there is a chance the crust will not fully bake in the center as the fruit releases liquid. The high temperatures "temper" the crust during the first 15 minutes of baking. Finally,

Best apple pie I have ever made period! this recipe is AWESOME! I followed it exactly and used the buttery flaky pie crust from this site, pie turned out perfect. Thanks for submitting the recipe.

Simply perfect!

Really good. I wasn't so crazy about the green apples though. So I made it again with red delicious apples and everyone agreed it was better.

Interesting approach to apple pie. Made for my boyfriend who loves all things apple and he devoured it. Literally we each had a slice for dessert so there was about 2/3 of the pie left when I went to bed, by morning all that was left was an empty pie tin!

Great recipe! Only things I did were add cinnamon to the apples (Rome instead of Granny Smith), cook the sauce in the microwave and poured most of it on the apples before adding the lattice crust.

This is my great grandmother's recipe and I am sure that she is watching over everyone who makes this, smiling. My Great Grandmother and her children (my Grandmother and Great Aunt) were the best cooks and they loved to fill your belly. I am proud to see all the rave reviews and hope that you will try this recipe and enjoy it as much as we did and do to this day. Also a note try it as is the first time it is perfect the way it is but if you feel that you still need to modify it or tweak it to your own. that's cool! Thanks to all! and I love you, Great Grandma, Grandma, and Nanny.

Great recipe!! I tweaked it, only because I'm adventurous. I combined this recipe with another I found on the web for an apple/craisin/cherry/pecan/ bourbon pie. I soaked dried raisins and cherries in a cup of bourbon overnight. After toasting the pecans for about 10 minutes, I added them and the bourbon mix to the flour/sugar/butter/apple juice (substituted that for the water) mix along with some cinnamon and vanilla. I also steamed the apples to soften just a little. I mixed everything together and then added about 2 T of heavy cream to the mixture to smooth everything out. I was told I should sell the pie, it was so good! :) This combination is what I'll be making from now on... thanks to the original recipe by Grandma Ople.

I have to give this recipe a 5 star although it was not one of my favorites but I don't care for cooked apples and have never been a fan of apple pie. I made this for my husband and he loved it! I only used 4 apples instead of 8 and two of them were golden delicious. I think next time I will try all red delicious because the Granny Smith apples were way too sour for this recipe (especially for me). But it had great flavor and held together really well!

I made this pie today. Turned out awesome! The only thing I did differant was add cinnamon in with the apples and I poured the sauce over the apples before doing the top crust. This will be my new apple pie recipe.. I thought the one I was making before was great.. This is unreal!

This pie is delicious! I took a few liberties with the recipe. I used salted butter. Eight apples is too many, I used 6 Granny Smith apples and 5 would have worked fine. I added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the sauce. I used Pillsbury ready crusts and I didn't lattice the top, just poured the sauce over the apples and put on the top crust, then brushed the crust with milk so it would brown. Luckily I put a pan under this, it ran over and would have made a terrible mess otherwise. Baking time isn't quite long enough, I baked it 55 minutes during the 350º phase. This was great with ice cream, a different slant on apple pie because of the caramel taste. This recipe will never take the place of my traditional apple pie recipe, but it is very good and I will make it again.
