I absolutely loved this recipe!! Before making this, I had never really cooked anything in my life. When everyone at my 4th of July party found out that I had made this from scratch, they couldn’t believe it! It was delicious!! Thanks Amy for inspiring me to try more recipes!!

I like the crust and topping, but when it came to the filling it was just way too much sugar, the pie came out super mega sweet and watery, the flavor is ok, but not great due to excesive sweetness, I guess next time I will only use half the sugar, and less oil in the crust. No need to oil and flour the pan. I love the way the crust and topping are made, I would think it’s easy enough for a kid to do it.

actually if you wanna know the truth i just did the topping from this recipie and let me tell you it did not work the topping was not crumbly it was really mushy so i tryed to spread it on like a crust and it melted in with the filling i had ready made filling but when it was done the taste was actually good but not what i expectedwhat i did cause everyone said it was to buttery and sweet so i did 1/3 cups of everything instead of 1/2 so it was probably my fault but i am a new baker.

I really enjoyed this recipe. It was on the simple scale. I did however add some Quick Oats to the topping. When I did the topping it was not crumbly. I thought it was my mistake. Adding the quick oats helped. I also had to bake about a half and hour more than the recipe called for, but it turned out very well. I used tart apples so it wasnt so sweet. Excellent job Amy! It sorta turned out like an apple crisp pie!

The pie is excellent. Very easy to make. I let it bake for an hour and 15 minutes. I used Golden Delicious apples. And I found it easier to cut the butter into the flour and sugar mixture before sprinkling it on top of the pie. But an excellent tasting pie. Especially warm! Thanks Amy.

the pie is easy to make but needs some improvement. One person mentioned the use of flavored instant oatmeal for the topping, good idea, but use half the amount of butter and it becomes crumbly. Also lemon juice for the filling helps its flavor and holds things together.

The recipe was really easy to make! It is my first time baking an apple pie. I had a dinner party last night and baked one. The pie was the talk of the night! I have to give all credit to this recipe. A friend who claimed not to like fruit pies was found enjoying a huge slice of pie!! I was so delighted that everyone enjoyed the pie. THanks Amy for your contribution!
I followed the advice of the other fellow bakers and baked the pie for 1 and a half hours instead. For the crust, I did not use all the 1/2 cup of butter, in fact i think 1/4 was enough (i used about 50g). For those who do not like the pie to be too sweet, i suggest to add lesser sugar, i used about 1 desert spoon of sugar for one apple. It also helps to taste the apples before adding the sugar. -

Great recipe! I’ll admit I had my doubts about the crust but it turned out fine. Nice to be able to make a pie without getting flour all over.
I found that the pie was done after 45 minutes in the oven.
For those of you having trouble with the topping, keep in mind that the butter/margarine needs to be cold (out of the fridge, not at room temperature) in order to make crumbs.
Good luck! Can’t go wrong with this one. Thanks Amy. -

WONDERFUL!!!
This was my first apple pie and crust.I was very excited when it came out perfect and more excited when people actually enjoyed it.
I was very proud telling people that it was a homemade pie and crust.I just left out the part about how easy it was to make.Had hubby thinking I was cooking all day so I could go out for dinner.Thanks Amy for sharing. -

I just made this pie this morning and it is THE best apple pie I’ve ever tasted. I love the crumbled topping better than a pastry crust. I used 1/4 cup of butter instead of the 1/2 cup it called for and the butter was very cold. It took a little elbow grease to work the butter into the flour and sugar mixture but it did end up being crumbly like it was supposed to and it came out perfect! Make sure the butter is cold and try 1/4 cup instead of 1/2 cup. I also used a frozen pie shell for the bottom crust. It is WONDERFUL!!! I bet the topping will be great on peach pies, blackberry pies, cherry pies…etc.

This was the best apple pie I’ve ever made, and I’ve been baking for years. I needed to bake it longer than the recipe called for, but as soon as it was goldening up, I took it out. It got rave reviews from everyone at dinner. I found that the recipe was good just as it was. (Some previous submitters had recommended cutting sugar or butter). If you’re extremely health conscious, I guess you could, but it’s absolutely delicious as is. Also, those complaining that it was doughy only had to bake it longer. If you tap lightly on the crumb topping, and it leaves an indent, then it still needs to bake some.
An absolutely outstanding pie! -

Mmmmm this was WAY yummy!! Ummm, one suggestion …. This was my first apple pie I’ve made, first pie for that matter, and I didn’t realize I needed to peel the apples – duh!! Lol, so just a warning to any other first-timers out there: this is a delicious recipe but peel the apples first!!

I have never made apple pie before, and this one was pretty easy! I used Gala apples, which turned out great, but six was way too many. I ended up using about four. The crust/dough was a bit crumbly, but I think it would have helped to have just a little more of it. I will definitely make this again!

I don’t know what more I can say about this EXCELLENT apple pie! We were getting last minute company and I needed a quick dessert and I enlisted my younger daughter to whip this up for me. I had granny smith’s on hand, so we used those and added a little bit more sugar to offset the tart flavor of the apple. We cheated and used a packaged pie crust and added cinnamon to the topping. Some other reviewers suggested cutting back on the butter, but I felt the amount for the topping was perfect. Thanks so much Amy for a really great pie recipe!

This pie is so good! This morning I woke up thinking I’d like to make an apple pie (never done it before and I’ve never even really eaten good apple pie), so I came to allrecipes and this is the first recipe I clicked on! I took it out of the oven about an hour and a half ago, and it’s more than half gone already and it’s just my mom and I! I made some changes to the recipe: First, I only used about three and a half granny smith apples. I don’t see how anyone could fit 6 apples in there? Are Fuji apples a lot smaller? In any case, the three and a half apples filled the pie crust so it was sticking an inch or so above the crust! Also, I added a LOT more cinnamon! The amount of cinnamon in the recipe is nowhere near enough for our tastes. And I had less than half a cup of white sugar, so I used that with brown sugar to make 3/4 a cup in the apples. It was really good that way! And, all the sugar mixture was too much for the apples so I just added flour and brown sugar to the leftovers for the topping. The topping wasn’t like any other crumb topping I’ve seen. Maybe too much butter, because mine went from big chunks of butter to a dough. In any case, I just spread the topping over the pie with a spatula (added lots of cinnamon, of course). It got all wonderful and crisp on the outside of the topping but nice and soft on the inside. I think I’ll stick to the changes I made in the future, and also I’m going to try baking the crust for a few minutes before putting

This is THEE best apple pie, and so easy to make. I make this all the time now b/c I constantly get requests for it. I’ve been told by many people that my apple pie is the best they’ve ever tasted (and I cheat and buy the frozen pie crust…shhh!). I mix up the types of apples I use each time, and cut the apple pieces smaller than the usual apple pieces and it makes the filling even gooier and more delicious. Thank you SO much Amy!!

It was one of the few times I made a pie and it turned out great. “All American” is really the adjective that describes it. It tasted and looked like one of the pies that one can purchase in stores and fast-food places, Only it was better because it was home-made, and if one wishes to cut some calories, one can cut out the butter and oil content. I put half less of butter and oil, a bit less flour, and some more milk. I also used olive oil because vegetable oil was aparently missing in my home. As for spices I added some allspice in addition to cinnamon. I loved the crunchy shell and crust and the light brown look of the pie.

Best apple pie I’ve ever eaten. I did, however, add more cinnamon and about 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Also used a 9-inch store bought pie crust. 3 granny smith and 1 golden delicious apple chopped into small chunks were a plenty. For the topping, I pulsated the ingredients in a food processor. It came out almost like a sugar cookie dough. Then, rather than sprinkling it, I dropped gobs on top of the pie and pressed it all together with my fingers, forming a top “crust.” I wrapped the edges with aluminum foil to prevent burning, and the end result was a gooey, caramel-like center with a crispy, flaky, sweet crust on top. It was awesome!

I just made a GREAT apple pie! Very easy recipe that produced a very traditional, bakery quality apple pie.
I used a 27 cm pyrex pie plate (10.63 inches)…so the pie was little thinner than it would have been with a 9″ pie plate…but it worked perfectly. I had just enough bottom crust to go up the side of the plate.

This was my very first apple pie and everyone loved it!! I cheated & used a frozen deep-dish pie crust. 4 large Granny Smith apples were plenty! My topping ended up doughy instead of crumbly, but I just spread it on with a spatula & it was perfect that way! Overall, a very easy pie to make, especially for first-timers, and it got rave reviews…I’ll definitely be making this again!

This is a super-easy & great tasting pie recipe. I used 5 Fuji apples, which still made the pie overflow a bit. I also found that the top was more like dough & not crumbly. But I think that actually adds to the taste & texture of the pie. Just don’t expect to have a crumbly topping. My 2 1/2 year old enjoyed rolling the topping into little balls & putting them on top. It was great! The pie was for my Dad’s b-day & he likes his apple pies almost like applesauce, so I baked it 20 minutes longer & then left it in the oven another 15 minutes after I turned it off. The crust never burned, which is amazing! Thank you.

I decided to try this recipe beforehand for 4th of July day. It was sooooo good. I never baked pie before and it turned out to be just perfect. My husband kept sniffing at the pie after it was done the whole time I was cooking dinner. It was just perfect. I used Betty Crocker’s ready-to-mix crust and it turned out to be great. Fuji apples were just excellent for this recipe. Thank you so much. Now I can call myself a true American!

This pie didn’t turn out well for me at all….the apples were still half raw, even after leaving it in the oven for an extra 10 minutes. The top crust, which was supposed to be a crumb crust, was gooey and globby, and the bottom crust was doughy. I took this to a church picnic, and only one piece got eaten….it didn’t even look appetizing. I won’t be making this one again. Sorry.

I’ve made this pie 2x and we love it!!! It is a little sweet, but remember, you are what you eat. If you don’t like it that way, add less sugar to it, like any other recipe you use, fix it the way you like it. One thing I noticed was that my filling the first time was too much, so it was falling apart, so I adjusted it to meet my needs the 2nd time, and it was PERFECT!! I suggest making this recipe, it’s so good, and if done right, you’ll have people begging you for more!!

This was the first apple pie I’ve ever made, and was really easy!I substituted a little brown sugar for white, and added about 1/2c chopped pecans, and had almost a praliney taste, which almost made it too sweet! I also had to add more flour/sugar to the topping mixture to make it crumbly (probably 1/3c more) and had to cook for almost 15 mins more!But, very tasty, just the right amount of cinn/nutmeg!

This pie was absolutely wonderful!! Much better than a supermarket bakery or frozen pie, and the crust was superb. I, too, decreased the sugar added to the apples, sprinkled the topping with sugar and cinnamon, and allowed it to bake about 20 minutes longer than the recipe called for. The taste was great!! Will be using this recipe over and over…

Don’t usually make pies as I have no luck with dough but this recipe made it soooo easy for me. Added a few extra apples for our taste and hubby and I both loved it. Definately would make this again. May even try using a different fruit but use this recipe. Excellent!!

This is the first pie I have ever made and everybody was really impressed. The topping wasn’t crumbly, but I didn’t feel like that was a problem. I think that the taste (sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg) is right on. And I really liked the crust. Although I did taste the flour on the apples, so I might change that next time. The only thing I did differently was I added extra cinnamon sugar to the top before I baked it. I used half macintosh apples and half fuji apples. I will bake it a little longer next time; I thought the apples could be softer.

Like others, I did have my doubts about the pie crust in the beginning. Don’t expect it replace traditional pie crust, however, it works well with this recipe. The only change I made was to reduce the cinnamon and increase the nutmeg. I used Corland apples, fresh from the tree. My wife gave this a big thumbs up but I found it a little on the rich side, particularily the topping. This would be a great recipe made with a traditional double pie crust. Thanks Amy for a great dessert. Anyone looking for an apple pie recipe should try this one.

I must admit I don’t like making pie crust so I stick to those folded pie crusts (Pillsbury makes the best!) as opposed to the dry freezer crusts in the tins. Ergo, I cannot rate the crust. However, it’s the filling that really counts to me and this one is delicious! Although I used 4 Red Rome apples (no Fuji on hand), the spices captured the essense of the apples beautifully. The topping was wonderful as I’m not a huge fan of top-crusted pies and held in the juices perfectly. The pie came out sweet–but not sickeningly sweet–and juicy and slightly crispy on top. Actually, this recipe goes very well with my lazy pie crust! Highly recommended. Since the filling and topping are so delicious, I may even try the crust sometime when I’m feeling especially ambitious…

I was a bit sceptical about the filling and topping containing only white sugar (I think brown sugar tastes so good in and on an apple pie). The pie cooked beautiful, though, and I became impatient tasting it. I let the pie cool to room temperature and, as I usually do, I took the pie out of the pan… and then it all messed up: the pie fell apart from every sides… I was so disappointed. When I tasted it, though, it was absolutely wonderful. So, don’t worry about the pie containing only white sugar, and absolutely let the pie in the pan it cooked in. This pie a real keeper and takes only minutes to prepare (except for peeling, coring and slicing apples!).

i really love this recipe! i greatly appreciate how the crust requires no rolling pin/flour all over the place/lots of muss and fuss.
the first time i tried making the crumb topping, it turned out to be a huge mess (really gloppy) because i wasn’t familiar with the usage of a pastry cutter. but the second time around i got the hang of it…although I always seem to end up using around 1/4 cup of butter instead of the 1/2 (then it starts getting oozy and goopy for me).
also, fuji apples make for a really sweet pie…my family liked it with granny apples more.
