Apple Pie

"This is the apple pie I've been making for years and if using Pillsbury pie crusts (ready-made pie dough in the dairy section) is the perfect pie-making project for kids. Recipe adapted from an old church cookbook."

Questions & Replies

  1. Do you use salted or unsalted butter? Also, my bottom crust was not crisp the last time I made it. Should I cook it longer or use a glass baking dish instead of the steel one?

  1. This recipe was really easy and very delicious! I've never made a pie before, and it came out perfect. Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. Great apple pie recipe. I really like the lower, longer baking time. Less watching and it came out fine. I used Granny Smith's and the Pillsbury crust. With tart apples the sugar was the right amount. Taste your apples - if they are sweet, reduce the sugar a bit - this is a good rule for any apple pie recipe. The only thing I did differently was to mix all the filling up in a bowl and then put it in the crust - instead of layering. It is so good, we are having apple pie for breakfast.
     
  3. Very easy to make and tastes delicious. I used a full teaspoon of cinnamon instead of a pinch. Served this warm with vanilla ice cream and my family devoured it. Thank you for sharing!
     
  4. Delicious!! I make my own crust though which is an easy recipe. 1 cup flour, 2 to 3 tbsp cold water and 1/3 cup butter or margarine :)
     
  5. I made this for Thanksgiving. The pie was really easy to make and tasted great! I skipped the lemon juice since my Granny Smith apples where very tart and made it with 1/2 white and 1/2 brown sugar. Received rave reviews from everyone who tried it and the pie was gone in a matter of minutes. My picky 11-year old is begging me to make it again soon, so I think I'll suprise him with this today after dinner . Thank you for sharing this recipe. Definitelly a keeper!

I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
