This is a yummy recipe! I added just a dash of flour to the apple mixture, to keep apple juices a little thicker. I also found the cooking temp to be a little too high. My crust was very dark brown after only about 15 minutes. I reduced the temp to about 350 and it cooked nicely.

This is the best apple pie I have ever made (and I have been baking apple pies for 25 years!). The crust is outstanding, absolutely delicious when made with real butter. Only change I made is that I used golden delicious apples, which I had, instead of the granny smith. Highly recommended.

I also added a bit of cloves and nutmeg to the apple mixture, just because I like those spices, and it tasted great. I also brushed egg over the top of the crust before I cooked it to give it an old-fashioned dark and shiny look. Tasted very yummy, especially with vanilla ice cream.

After making many creative apple pies my husband asked if I could make an old fashioned basic apple pie. This was the delicious recipe I used. The apples came out crisp and the pie was delicious. I did reduce the amount of sugar as I mixed pears and apples into the pie since both fruits were falling off the tree. The crust came out well and was easy to make. Highly recommend.

Delicious pie recipe. My ds and I had fun making this pie. The directions were excellent and easy for both of us to follow together, however I followed one of the other reviewers suggestions of lowering the oven temp. to 350 after 15 minutes--cooking the pie for a total of 60 minutes.

loved this recipe... the reviews by others were helpful. I love lime, didn't have a fresh one or roses so I added about a teaspoon of lime ade concentrate. I knew by looking at this recipe I would like it so I made two!

This was a pretty "Incredulous" tasting pie. You might want to try it with some lemon zest and a light egg wash and sprinkel of sugar. I also added two table spoons roses lime juice. Scrumptious!

This was an average pie. I really liked the idea of using wax paper for rolling and transferring the pastry - it worked perfectly! The pastry tasted good, as did the filling, although it was nothing outstanding. I did add 1 tbsp flour to the filling but it was still runny and the bottom layer of the pastry was soggy. I think the filling could be tastier and wonder if brown sugar instead of white would make a difference? Perhaps more cinnamon and nutmeg (I used freshly grated nutmeg) as well? As other reviewers suggested, I brushed the top pastry with beaten egg and sprinkled cinnamon and sugar over top. I think this made for a nice top. I baked, covered in foil, at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, the uncovered at the same temperature for another 30 minutes. I might make this again, but will try some changes to make it better.

This is an excellent recipe. I have a pie crust recipe I usually make, but this one intrigued me so I tried it. I was impressed because rolling it between the wax paper eliminated all of the flour mess normally left on my counter. Also this would be a good recipe for first time pie bakers as the dough lifts up with the paper. I had Gala apples on hand so that is what I used and it turned out very good.

This was the perfect simple apple pie! My fiance and I loved it! I added some cinnamon to the top of the pie crust before baking. I followed the temps suggested of 425 for 15 minutes and then only 45 minutes on 350 and it turned out perfectly. The only thing I noticed was the crust seemed a little dry when rolling it out. The next pie of made, I just added a bit more of water (1/2 cup total) to the crust recipe and it helped drastically. I liked the pie crust so much that I used it when I made a homemade pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. Thanks for posting! :)

Seven apples seemed excessive to me, so I used 4 Fuji apples, which was more than enough, but I didn't adjust the sugar so it came out a little sweet. Based on the other comments about temp, I baked mine at 410 for the first 15 and 350 for the remaining 40, and my crust came out perfect. Boyfriend's assessment was that it's good enough to be sold for at least $18-20, high praise coming from a picky eater like him!

I cannot believe how well this turned out for my first ever apple pie. I didn't have any wax paper so I rolled my dough on a cutting board for easy transfer into the pie dish. My neighbours and family loved it. I omitted the cinnamon completely because I don't care for it and reduced the sugar a bit since I used Red Delicious apples and it turned out fantastic. I have already made this twice and look forward to making it again, especially the crust! It is so good.

This was my first attempt at making a pie from scratch and it turned out very well! The crust is flaky and had great flavor. My house smelled wonderful that entire afternoon and my family polished the pie of in minutes. Thanks!

My first attempt at making a pie completely from scratch. It worked out pretty well and my family enjoyed it over the 4th of July. The crust was relatively easy to work with but flavor-wise seemed to be missing something for us. I ended up using 1/3 cup butter because I wasn't sure which would work better (the 1/3 cup listed in the ingredients or the 1/2 cup listed in the directions). I added 2 tbsp flour to the filling to thicken it, and reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup because I wasn't using all Granny Smiths. As others suggested, I brushed some milk over the top crust and sprinkled it with cinnamon-sugar (that was a great addition!). Baked at 400 for 15 minutes and then at 350 for 45 minutes. I'd make this pie again and hope that with practice, my technique for making pretty crust edges improves. Thanks for posting!

We just finished devouring this pie and it was incredible! This was my first attempt at a pie ever. I bake a ton but always thought a pie would be an undertaking. Not so. This recipe was simple and perfect! I don't like adding "extras" to stuff and I had no urge to add the nutmeg, cloves etc that others wrote about. This pie is perfect as is. I baked at 400 for 15 minutes as many reviewers said 425 gave too much color, but I would do 425 next time to see what happens. My pie crust turned out delicious but without much color to it. I then turned the oven down to 350 and baked for the remaining 45 minutes. The apple texture was perfect. We will make this recipe again and again without changing a thing!

This pie was absolutely amazing! I bake frequently; however, I have yet to make an apple pie and this one did not fail. It was a complete hit at the Christmas dinner I went to and was all gobbled up. I was even asked to make it for an upcoming occasion. I followed other reviews and let it bake at 350 degrees for an hour. I also used 4 granny smith and 3 golden delicious apples. This pie is great alone, but is even better served warm with vanilla bean ice cream, yum! The crust is amazing, and I followed the ingredients by using 1/3 c. butter (not 1/2 c. as stated in the directions). Thanks for a recipe I will make for years to come <3!

Just the apple pie I was looking for! I did make my own crust (have a tried and true recipe I love) but the filling was excellent. I used a wide variety of apples in the pie ... excellent!!!

I have never made a pie before and was determined to tackle one. I looked at other recipes and they were extremely complicated then I came across this one. Since it was so simple I thought it would turn out not as good, but my boyfriend and I fell in love instantly; it quickly became an instant hit at my dinner too! I think i added a little more cinammon and a little bit of ground cloves- it was perfect, i loved the crust! Thanks so much!

My husband said this was the best apple pie he's ever tasted! i cheated and used pilsbury pie crust as i was short on time.
for the filling i added an extra T. of cinnamon (2 total), and for the sugar i used 1/2 C. white and 1/4 C. brown. then I did an egg wash on the crust. beautiful, VERY tasty, and not too sweet pie! will be making again, thanks!
