Swedish Apple Pie

Great recipe!!! I tweaked it a bit, I peeled, cored, sliced and baked the apples with some water and cinnamon instead of boiling since boiling would cook off the nutrients. So since I didn't drain the water off I doubled the regular flour to 4 tbs and added 2 tbs whole wheat flour. Now since everyone had issues with the topping I did my own. 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 2tbs butter and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. I also made a icing to go on top of the crumb topping.

I made this today and it was great! First off, mine looked nothing like any of the pictures posted here...my fault! I used 5 granny apples (too many) didn't drain it long enough (too runny) and the pie shell wasn't nearly large enough. My crumbs came out as melted butter (kitchen too warm). Other than that, it cooked up with just a little jiggle in the middle but it was killer!! Can't wait to make it the proper way next time LOL Thanks Leslie for a yummy pie recipe!

This turned out great. My mother was in heaven!! Last time I made it I did NOT boil the apples, it wasn't as good. I could have maybe boiled them another 1 or 2 minutes, but my family likes their apples a little crunchy in their pies (I don't). The texture is a wonderful creaminess, and lovely. The REAL vanilla really set off the apple perfectly! OH, I also cut the sugar down to only 1/2 cup, because last time I used what the recipe called for and it was too sweet. My only complaint was that my topping wasn't like a struesel like I expect. I will try cutting the butter down for the top next time. I used a shortbread crust: 1 1/4 cup flour 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup shortening Mix dry, cut in butter and shortening, press into pan.

Very very good. The only issue I had was that I found the flavour of vanilla was a little too strong for our tastes, will halve it next time and will be making this pie for years to come. Thanks.

This was really good. I didn't bother with a crust and we didn't miss it any. Will make again, thanks!

I was hesitant to try this recipe because my husband and kids hate sour cream. I made a traditional apple pie and then changed my mind. After all, I LOVE sour cream, so I decided to do your version. I blended one egg and the sour cream and poured it over the pie filling. Then, I sprinkled the topping over it, with the addition of one packet of french vanilla instant oatmeal (at the suggestion of another reviewer-for the added crunch). I baked the whole thing for 40 mins. It ended up being SUPERB! If I must say so myself, I make great pie, but this was probably the best pie I have EVER made. The sour cream layer sits on top and tastes like an italian cheesecake. The crumb topping is crunchy and super sweet. The apple pie layer is like traditional comfort food.

A really nice new apple pie version. I used fromage blanc instead of the sour cream and it seemed to work fine.

This was just wonderful. Loved the texture in the middle and the crunch of the crust is awesome. Dave loved it and so did I. Thanks Leslie for a real keeper.

This rates for me more than five stars - can I give 6, 7 or 8 - it was absolutely beautiful - I made no changes or subs to the recipe except to add a couple of tired pears to the sliced apples and I loved every mouthful.

Georgous apple pie and, believe me, I was worried about serving it as my other half *loves* my traditional pie. However it went over fantastically. Like others, I doubled the amount of flour in the topping. Lovely!

Most easy and delicious pie to make! I overcooked the apples by letting it sit in hot water for too long, but the taste was still great! I used 1-1/2 large apples just to fill up the pie shell, and added cornflakes to the topping mixture to give it extra crunch. Will definitely make again! Thanks.

What a gorgeous pie this was! I just wish I had my camera (broken)! I used a whole bag of apples (lbs?). I used my apple corer and used the slices as were. Perfect! My pie was full of apples and it set up beautifully! I was very proud of this pie at our Thanksgiving Dinner! Thank you ~Leslie~!!! 10 stars if I could!

the crust has either too much butter or too little flour. the filling was good but the crust was a melted pool of butter. I will try again with a different crust recipe. other than that it wasn't bad.

Delicious pie! We liked the creaminess of the filling and the crunchy top. I didn't make any changes to the recipe. Thank you Leslie for posting!

mmm..*licks lips* yum! This is good! I increased the apples to 6 cups and the sugar to 1 cup. I also added 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the filling. I cannot imagine an apple pie without cinnamon. Of course, I also added some cinnamon to the topping, as per the recipe. Thanks, Leslie!! Chef Judi Coleman

It was a decent pie. I think my family is too traditional and this is not your traditional apple pie. I also increased the apples and if not the crust would have seemed empty.
