Does anyone know if this can be frozen? Overall: This was my first pie and it was excellent to make and eat! I was intimidated at first, but surprised at the lack of complicatedness and my family loved it! I'm giving it 4 stars b/c I followed some suggestions made by other reviewers. Changes: I used 1 T butter and 2 T sugar in apple mixture and it was definitely sweet enough. I also only used 1 C white sugar in custard. Problems: I found my custard did not mix as the recipe calls for. First of all, I couldn't get the butter and sugar to be creamy, stayed grainy both pies I made. Also, the yellow never disappeared as recipe says it should while one ads the eggs one at a time. I was confused by this b/c if you have just butter, sugar and 4 eggs, how will there ever be no yellow?? Neither of these happened for me, but did not seem to matter. Next time: I used a store bought pie crust and noticed it was the weakest part of the pie. I'll try making my own crust when I'm feeling braver.

We love this and will make again. We did cut down on the white sugar a bit like other reviewers said. We did not have buttermilk so we used milk w/ vinegar. The custard comes way up while cooking so a deep dish pie dish is a must.

I'm not sure how anyone gets past the overwhelming sweetness to award this recipe so highly. I love sweet, and this was just too much for me; even my kids who are sugar crazed couldn't finish a small piece. I tried to scrape the topping off just to salvage the pie, but even then it was still difficult to stomach. I think if I made it again, I would leave off the topping(or cut sugar amounts in half) and use 1/4 cup sugar on the apples and 1 cup sugar in the custard. I'm wanting to give the recipe 2 stars, but feel that the pie would be really good if the sugar wasn't such a problem.

Cindy made this after church (10-4-09) and Jill and I had a piece before we hit the road to drive home. The flavor was delicious but, we cut into it too soon. Next time it definately needs to set up some. Excellent taste!

This pie is absolutely delicious! I made the recipe as is except i cut the sugar to 1 cup in the custard and it was perfect. I did add more apples because i used a large deep dish pie plate. The ONLY change i will make next time is to use a different topping....it stayed very much like sugar and not very crumbly. Perhaps it just needs more butter but i have definately had better results with different toppings in the past. Truly a must try and delicious pie!

I LOVE this pie. I make a couple of alterations (adding vanilla when I cook the apples, for example) but it's a great recipe and my favorite pie to make. The only thing is that I notice that for some reason I always have far more filling than the pie crust can hold. It's not a huge issue - better too much than too little. :)

Mmm. This was really good. I used a homemade pie crust b/c I love crust and the storebought ones are like cardboard. The only thing I noticed, and I NEVER think things are too sweet, was that the custard portion seemed overly sweetened - almost like candy. So next time I would reduce the sugar I think.

Very good recipe! A keeper! The reasons I gave it 4 stars are the following. I discovered we did not have any apples, so I used zucchini instead! Awesome!! Also, instead of using a ready made pie shell I made pie shell useing Ruth's Grandma's pie crust from this site! I also cut all sugar to half the amount listed. Came out just right! Wow! Excellent! Thanks for posting!

Very good recipe. I did cut back on the sugar as suggested and accidentally when I was doing the apple part, I added too much butter so I just doubled the amount of apple and halfed the amount of custard. It came out delicious! I definitely will make this recipe again (with my changes)

This is by far the yummiest pie I have EVER made! I loved it! Along with everyone else. I brought it to a christmas party and I was told by my younger cousin that if I didnt bring it next year then he wouldnt let me in the door. haha It was such a hit that I made it again for another holiday party a few days later and it was just as big of a hit there. I fallowed the recipe exactly except I did use 3 apples and used a deep dish pie crust and it was just enough. 2 apples probably wouldnt have been enough for the pie. I didnt think it was to sweet as some people had said. It was perfect! Im sure this is going to become a dessert I will be making for any special event along with whenever i feel like making a good dessert from now on!

My family loves it! My mom is the bake sale guru and she asked me to make this for an upcoming sale at our church. Allher stuff is quality controlled and more or less gourmet; so I was thrilled she loved it. A quick note....I used 3 medium apples and the recipe made enough for 2 shallower pies.

I thought this was really nice and different. I lessened the sugar as suggested. Wasn't gooey enough for me and I think I'd add another apple next time.

This was a bit time consuming to make, but well worth it! I used another recipe on here (Aunt Ruth's Pie Crust) for the pie crust. I doubled the recipe to make two pies. However, when I put the apples in and the custard, it did not fill the pie shells. This was because I had used deep dish pie pans. I ended up adding more apples to the mix and it did rise a little before I put the crumb mix on. I would suggest that you double the apple part of the recipe if using a deep dish pan. The flavors of apple and custard complimented each other very well and it was like eating two desserts at once! I will definitely save this one for future holidays!

I'm not really one for making pie, but I had an overabundance of apples this fall and needed to do something with them! This pie was amazing! I took it to work and everyone loved it. Will pass it on for sure! (It is on the sweet side, watch out!)
