This is good! I used 8 cups of granny smith apples. I also increased everything else slightly: used 5 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, an extra tablespoon of both sugars, an extra 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and measured the other spices according to the recipe except made them heaping spoonfuls. I cut the water to 1 1/2 tablespoons and DRAINED the extra juice from the apples after cooking them on the stovetop for 15-20 minutes. (I may add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch next time instead of draining the juice.) You want the apples to be tender after cooking them because they don't get much softer from baking them in the oven. I dotted the cooked apples with 1 tablespoon butter before putting top crust on. I used the French Pastry Pie Crust recipe from this site (used butter instead of shortening). Pre-bake the bottom crust for 10 minutes to avoid a soggy crust. I brushed the top of my pie with an egg wash (1 egg yolk + 1 tablespoon milk) to give it a nice golden shine.

I'm from Okanogan Co. myself, so I know a good apple pie. This is a great one.

I am new to pie making and I really liked this recipe! I had tried another recipe that didn't call for cooking the apples first and I liked this one a lot better.

I actually used this as a guide to create my own, spicier pie. I added a lot of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger and apple pie spices. It was sooo good. I cheated and used Pillsbury pie crust since I haven't attempted my own pie crust yet. While that works great for a pumpkin pie, not so much for this flavorful apple pie. This pie needs a really good buttery crust.
