"Easy to make using a refrigerated ready made pie crust. Vanilla ice cream is a must have with this pie."

This was a very easy and delicious pie to make and eat. The sweet crunchy topping balanced the tartness of the Granny Smith apples perfectly. I did not have any vanilla ice cream but I did whip up some fresh cream with a bit of sugar. I'm ashamed to say we did not have any leftovers, my family of four polished off the whole pie. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe.

I found the filling to be a tad bit too tart. However, as long as you get a bite of the "crunch" along with the filling all is well. I think next time I will increase the sugar or add some brown sugar to the filling. Yes, ice cream is a must with this.
