It was great. and I just realized i forgot the lemon juice... (it was still good) The crust was crispy, but I did bake it for 5 min first, as one suggested :) There was slightly not enough dough to cover the pie, so I made stripes... My Friends liked it and told me I should make it again and again :)

This is quite likely the only recipe for apple pie that I'll ever use again. I did not use the crust recipe, but the filling was so simple and just tasted amazing! I love Dutch Apple Pie, so the only thing I might do differently in the future is to make a crumb topping to cover. Thank you for sharing!

This recipe is great! It was my first time making the crust from scratch, and it was absolutely delicious! I did add about 1/2 cup of brown sugar to the apple mixture. I also sprinkled a little bit of sugar and cinnnamon on the top crust. This will defiinitely be a go-to recipe!

This really is a wonderful recipe. I followed a previous user's advice on how many of which apples to use (2 granny smith,2 Fuji and 2-3 golden delicious) and the filling is perfect every time. One of these days I'll actually make the crust and not cheat with the pre-made!

The crust for this recipe was nothing special. It was neither light nor flaky. I even used butter instead of shortening as people recommended. The filling was even worse. It was so sweet it was inedible. I felt like my teeth were rotting after one bite. The sweetness overwhelmed the apples dramatically. I would not recommend this to anyone who likes apple pie. It is more like caramel apples in a shell.

This is perfect! I didn't have time to make my own dough,so I used a store bought pie crust for the bottom. And I toped it with a crumb mixture of 1/2 a cup of brown sugar,1 cup of flour and a stick of softened butter. Thanks Judy! :)(:

This is so close to the apple pie that I've been making for close to 50 years. The only difference in the crust is that I use part butter for better flavor. For the apples, I like to use Early Golds but realize that they are not readily available everywhere. The others that I've been successful with are combinations of zestar, jonagolds, ginger golds, pink lady and jonathon. I've never understood the Granny Smith recommendations. They do not cook well and always seem crunchy and sour tasting after the pie is done. If that were my only choice, I would not make apple pie. I also use part brown sugar for a yummy caramel-like flavor.

I make about 12-14 apple pies a year for our church Bingo and have quite a "following". I never use only one kind of apple - always a mixture. I have an 85 yr-old man at my Farmers' Market that bags me up a mixture of various apples and I always get rave reviews. I don't like nutmeg, so I only use the 1 tsp of cinnamon (heaped up a little). Other than that, this recipe is quite similar to mine. I always make my own crust. I only ever made one pie (strawberry)with store-bought crust and it went right in the trash can.
