recipe reviews for:

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.”

My husband said this was BETTER than his grandmother's (and that says a lot). I used a tad less sugar, but that's just my preference. Other than that, I followed the recipe. Didn't add cinnamon or vanilla as others suggested. Next time I think I will though. REALLY good pie, so easy to make...you'll love it!

Outstanding Pie! The caramel topping makes it heavenly. This was the first time I did a lattice top crust- very easy-easy as pie!

I made this recipe as directed with the addition of cinnamon; however I was not that impressed. The other reviewers ranted and raved about how delicious it was, but to me it was not that great.

My first apple pie!!! I was scared to make it, but it turned out great and was beautiful as well! I can't wait to make it again, and am so thankful I now have this recipe to have as our tradition as well!! I used the Basic Flakey Pie crust recipe from this website and it was also my first try!! Loved it!!

PERFECT. Followed the recipe exactly and I made it with a store-bought crust and my own home-made crust and they were both fantastic.

I consider myself an expert pie maker and this recipe is a KEEPER! The only thing I did differently was to pour the sauce over the apples and mix it up before putting into the crust. Then I put the top crust on and cut some slits in. I love my pie crust [made w/lard] and don't do lattice much so pouring over the crust would not have worked. Excellent flavor! Thank you Moshasmama! God Bless your granny!

WOW! I was a little worried about making this pie because of all of the problems i read in reviews... DO NOT WORRY! this pie is incredible! I loved it, it looked great and people were impressed!!! Check out my picture I am so proud of this pie! Also: I used the french pastry pie dough and it came out amazing! I urge you to try to keep the original recipe!! the only changes I made were to put cinnamon/nutmeg in with the apples but i'm sure it would have been great without too Try this pie, its such a keeper!!!!!!!!

I'm a beginner cook and have made this recipe 3 times now for different occasions and everyone LOVES this pie, young and old. I definitely added the tablespoon of vanilla, large pinch of nutmeg, and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon for flavor. I would also recommend mixing the syrup with the apples instead of pouring it over the lattice top. Otherwise it's a fabulous recipe to make, even if you're 21 years old :)

I did not like this recipe!! The main problem is the Granny Smith Apples are just too tart!! The sugar mixture is not needed on the top, because of the apples taste it is needed in the crust with the apples!! I recommend avoiding this recipe if you don't like tart apples!!!

I followed this recipe as it is, with great results. Be sure to follow other reviewers' suggestions and cut back on the number of apples if you have an 8-inch pan. This isn't a super-sweet pie in spite of the caramel topping, which is great for me and my family. Try following the recipe's instructions!

This was a hit at our Thanksgiving table this year. I did add just a bit of cinnamon because I can't imagine apple pie without it. I loved the way the lattice looked and tasted.

This was stunningly easy and so amazingly delicious. I did brush the bottom crust with egg white and I tossed the apples with 2t cinnamon, but other than that I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out PERFECT.
