My daughter Teresa followed this recipe to make her first pie. It was delicious; she did a great job and the recipe was perfect! The crust was very flaky. She used gala apples because it's what we had on hand. I'm proud of her! Thanks for the recipe! -
My husband adored this pie, as did my other Thanksgiving guests. I will absolutely make this again very soon! -
This was my first apple pie I ever made. I admit I used pre-made pie crust but everything else was very easy! the first pie I made, I dont think it was smart for me to bake it as directed. I guess all ovens are different. The crumb topping was very hard and I wasn't thrilled. Then, I made it again last night! what a difference. I used Baldwin Apples for both pies. It was the apples my kids picked from our local orchard trees so I had to use them. I decided to cook the apple pie on 350 for 30 min round one and then same temp for another 25 min. I also doubled the crumb topping recipe and it came out much much better! I guess crumb toppings are supposed to be a little firm? I personally like mine soft, but maybe it can't get any softer? thanks for posting! it truly was a great pie! -
Awesome tasting and easy to make! My husband said it's the best apple pie he's ever had :) Thanks for the great recipe! -
Fuji apples were on sale today, so I figured I better make this yummy looking pie! The best part about the pie is the crumb topping - it was just right! I used recipe#45268 for the crust as it's the only one I can make! The apple filling is very simplistic; I used the smaller amount of nutmeg and thought I would probably even less next time. I used an 8 inch pie crust for five apples and it seemed to be the right size for this pie. Made for PRMR tag game.

Delicious! I made this for the Make It Healthier game. So, I used oat flour(old fashioned oats whizzed in the food processor), 1/3 cup margarine for the crust. In the filling I used 1/4 cup honey in place of the white sugar. For the crumb topping I used whole wheat flour, 1 1/2 tbls. margarine, and molasses in place of the brown sugar, but I think honey would be good for those who feel molasses is too strong. It was great and I had fun playing with it! Thank you Anme!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm just a girl whos passion is for cooking, well some people would call it an obbsession rather.... I am a college student at RIT going for food management and prep, my favortie things! Most of my orignal recipes are made from left overs since I cook for one or two most days so there are always left overs in my house. I play mad scientist most days in my kitchen with left over chicken breasts lol. I am also a health food freak and a major gym rat, so I am always on the look out for good subs for the more unhealthy ingredients in most recipes. Also I am just starting to take pictures of the food I make on this site, so my photos are anything but stellar yet so I will not be offended in any way if you chooses not to use my pictures.
