This was the best apple pie I ever made. But pie is not one of my things. I used a deep dish pie plate and increased the apples to at least 6 cups, and I used an entire cup of butter. Everything else well,. I followed the recipe exactly. But no chopped pecans in the topping . Everyone loved it especially the ones who ate it warm right from the oven ! ( me and my son) Thanks for sharing, I think this is a good recipe for beginners.
