This is the first time I made an apple pie and I loved it. I ended up eating most of it. Great recipe, delicious and easy to make. I'll make this again.

I make this all the time-but where are the raisens in this recipe???? they make the pie sooo much better!! just stick about 2/3 c in a bowl of water and microwave for 20 seconds to plump them up, then drain and add to the apple/spice mix. Sooo yummy!

AMAZING does not do this pie justice! I made it for a pregnant friend and she has had cravings for it ever since (I make it for her every other week with the requirement we walk first due to the amount of butter in the recipe!) I have cut back on the butter to 1/2 a cup with makes the topping more of a pie crust. I also have reduced the sugar in the topping to 3/4 of a cup and use brown and white sugar on both the apples and in the topping. Lastly, since I cut the butter, I added cream to the apples and it makes a caramel sauce that is wonderful! After you have it once, get ready to make it time and again!

it was super easy to make and wonderful to eat. The only changes were the ones recommended by others: less than 1/2c margarine, 1/2c sugar, omit pecan. I've made it several times already cuz they were gone too fast!

One of my favourites! I add a layer of raspberries on top of the apples before adding the topping. EXTRA yummy!

I LOVE this recipe. It is so easy to make and so so good! I've been sharing this recipe with everyone I know. I nearly ate the whole pie the first time I made it is that good. I love the easy crust.

The topping was bad. My family who loves apple pie asked me not to make this again.

Wonderful, and easy. I usually have apples but no pie crusts. This I can make from everything I have in my kitchen now. I even made it for relatives and they asked for the recipe. Love it and Thank You for a great recipe.

the recipe is simple enough but, it is way too sweet for me. I'll try it again and use half the amount it calls for.

Outstanding recipe! We've made this many times, and it's a hit with my family - and extended family - every time. It also lends itself well to adaptation. I like to pre-cook the apples (with some cinnamon-sugar and a little water) to soften them. Last time I made this I essentially doubled the apples (but they cook down some), and then did about 1 1/2 times the topping. This then fit nicely into a standard 12x9 baking pan. My sister's family loved my "apple crisp!"

This pie is awesome! I read the reviews and decided to add a little more spice--used about a tsp of pumpkin pie spice with the apples. Also used half and half white and brown sugar on the topping--it comes out nice and brown. Will make this again and again - it was a real hit.

This is a recipe my mom has had for years. It's the best apple pie. I always had almond extract as well.

Went apple picking in New England and have been trying ALL kinds or recipes with the bushel of apples I picked right off the tree. So far... this is the simplest and most delicious pie. I did use more than 2 and 1/2 cups of apples. I just could not help myself. Sliced thin and layered in the pie plate. Also sprinkled a tiny bit of corn starch over the apples before smearing that delicious topping over them and used real butter (sinful, I know- but so rich!) Although there is nothing like apple pie with traditional flaky crust, I don't have the time (or the desire) to make one and I refuse to buy pre-made. This is a real winner! Served warm and topped with Frozen (fat free, sugar free) cool-whip and it just sunk right into the pie. Yum. Am baking one as I type this review. No wonder it won a blue ribbon!

This recipe was really good. I used a total of 4 Granny Smith apples. I also used the suggestions of other reviewers and I added corn starch and more cinnamon to the sprinkle mixture. I also added some lemon zest and lemon juice to the top of the apples before I poured on the topping. I baked the pie for only 55 minutes and it turned out perfectly.
