Grandma Ople's Apple Pie

“Tired of ordinary old apple pie? Well this fabulous recipe adds a delicious twist to the apply classic. Sliced, unadorned apples are mounded into a pie crust and topped with a lattice crust. Then, just before baking, a sweet, thick sugar syrup is poured carefully onto the crust. An hour later, the apples are tender and fragrant and the crust a glistening brown.”

Deeelish!! But I recommend like others to mix the sugar mixture before it's in the pie.

This recipe is absolutely perfect AS IS! I know people are recommending cinnamon, and yes, a traditional apple pie has cinnamon ... however, this is not your traditional apple pie. It's BETTER! I make the pies for every holiday gathering (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter) and apple is always a family favorite. I usually use a family recipe but this Thanksgiving tried this recipe for a new twist. The ENTIRE family said it was the best apple pie they had ever had. I had to agree. I know you're tempted to use less apples, add in some other ingredients, change the lattice work, etc, but I beg you not to! Try it out just as it is and you won't be disappointed. I promise!

This is a very tastey apple pie! I used Gala & Honey Crisp apples, 4 & 4. And a 9 inch, deep dish pie pan. Pleanty of apples. The method is easy for those who have never made a pie like this before. And I baked mine the full 45 minutes. Also tossed mine with cinnamon as suggested. Will make again!

Delish! Added cinnamon and nutmeg, since apple pie just isn't the same without them. Cinnamon really brought out the flavor of the caramel syrup and apples.

This was delicious. I followed this almost exactly. I like things sweeter, so I added some brown sugar to the top of the apples and sprinkled with more cinnamon and added a few pats of butter. When pouring the mixture over the top you have to go VERY slowly. The next time I make this pie I will toss the apples around in the mixture first and reserve some for the top. Don't miss that step because it makes a fabulous carmel like glaze to the crust. And don't forget a drip pan! Great recipe.

I have made this pie 3 times now and by far it is the BEST apple pie I have ever had. Each time I made it it was for a holiday party/gift. Everyone told me it was the best they ever ate.

This was my first attempt at apple pie and it was spot on delish!!!!! I used Honeycrisp apples, I added cinnamon and some nutmeg to the apples as others mentioned. This pie was probably the best I have ever had and to think I made it is just CRAZY :-) Very simple to make, thanks grandma ople!

Eat with a bib and a big bowl of vanilla ice cream. If you are strong enough, try to eat by the slice on a plate. I was too weak and found myself eating straight from the pie pan. :(
