I am fairly new at fruit pies. I always thought that apple pies had top crusts so I added one. The pie was really good.

I Have just started baking and I tried this recipe, what a cracking apple pie, I have made quite a few now with this recipe and i don't think i will be looking elsewhere. Highly Recommended.

Very good apple pie! I didn't use cloves because I didn't have it and the first time I made this pie I forgot to use the butter but the filling came out really thick and gooey. Tonight I made it and used the butter and I must not have cooked it long enough because it was runny, I put it back in the oven and will see if it thickens. But it was still very yummy! I highly recommend this recipe, it was easy and tasted great!

I have been making apple pies for over 40 years and this is the best recipe I have ever tried. It was wonderful. I used all the hints including milk on the crust and cinnamon and sugar. I used Pillsbury refrigerator crusts. I take them out of the package and put each crust between wax paper and roll them thinner. No one would know they are not made from scratch. Helen

Very good apple pie. I too had a lot of juice, so I think next time I will add a bit more flour. Thanks for sharing Marie!
