This is soooo delish! I couldn't fit 7 sliced apple in one pie, so had to adjust the recipe for that but otherwise OMG I love apple crisp but have a texture problem with apple pie (if it's slimy) and this is the perfect combo. Love it! I'm making it for my family thanksgiving tomorrow. Thanks for a great recipe!!

This recipe turned out really nicely. I edited it to make it gluten-free by substituting GF all-purpose four mix for the flour, quinoa flakes for the oats, and GF pie shells from Whole Foods. I also tossed the apple slices (Jonathan apples) in a bit (~ 1/2 tsp) of lemon juice. Like a couple of others I chose nutmeg of the 3 spice alternatives. Since others had said that the filling was enough for two pies, I made two pies (one to eat, one to freeze for later) but it wasn't QUITE enough, so I sliced two pears and added them to the apples. This was a wonderful treat, not too sweet though because of the walnuts. I may try adding just a touch of vanilla to the apples next time. I actually really liked the apple/pear mixture and will continue to add those in.

Delicious! We loved the walnuts and chewy topping in this pie. I used Braeburn apples and added 2 tsp. lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown. Also, I used regular old fashioned oats and 1/4 tsp. allspice, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp. ground cloves. I baked this in a 10" deep pie plate for 1 hour. My family loved this and gave it 2-thumbs up. Thank you for sharing.
