Great pie! I omitted the lemon because I didnt have any and used some tarter apples. It was amazing and my new favorite apple pie recipe!

Loved this recipe!! Had been looking for this Farm Journal recipe for quite some time--so glad that you posted it! I made this with enough apples to fill my 10 inch pie plate--it was gone in no time as I was feeding my hungry crew of farmers who were planting corn. Thanks for posting this recipe--it made my day to find it.

Lovely. I've add grounded hazelnuts on the bottom over the dough and raisins to the Apple.
