You can only fit about 6 apples into an apple pie, as for the rest of the ingredients in the pie... ugh!! It was like soup after it had finished and was so overwhelmed with cinnamon that you couldn't taste any other ingerdients.

Okay, where to begin. First, perhaps it was because I was not using small apples, but I can't figure out how you would even get 12 apples into one pie shell. I have 1/2 of the apple mixture sitting in my refrigerator right now. I did reduce the amount of cinnamon. 2 tablespoons in the apple mixture, and 2 for the topping. Still though, the topping did not do what I imagined it would. I am not going to go to the trouble of making another crust, but I think I may go ahead and make up another batch of topping for the other half of apples sitting in my fridge, but add some margarine to it, and sprinkle it on top in a casserole and see what it does. My father-in-law, who loves apple pie never asked for seconds, or to keep some leftovers.

I would rate it minus 1 but there isn't one. This measurements are totally off on this pie. You have enought here for almost 2-9" pies. Your mouth burns using this much cinammon. Not recommended at all; don't waste your time.

This recipe must have been mistyped! If made according to the recipe, it is aweful!

An AWFUL pie. The measurements are incorrect. 12 apples is enough to make two pies. 8 TBS of cinnamon is incorrect - should it be 8 TSP? The topping needs something else - perhaps some butter. It doesn't combine with the pie - just burns on top.

As written this gets 4 stars BUT...made with just 1 cup granulated sugar and 4 tablespoons cinnamon it deserves 5 stars.
