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.

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!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. 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>
