this recipe rules!! i was a little nervous at first because i let my apple cinnamon mixture “marinate” overnight so it was a little watery. i dumped it in the pan and just waited. the pie was excellent!!! i will definitely use this again and again. BTW…I used apples that were already sliced in the bag so I used approximately 5 cups and it came out very good.

I hate the be the one to go against the grain here, but I really wasn’t impressed with these. I expected more of a pie product, and it really was just apple crisp, without the crisp and with a crust. The crust was really thick, which definitely took away from the apple flavor, and my dinner guests just scraped the apple part of the crust and ate that. I’ll stick to either apple crisp or apple pie, but the combo didn’t work out so well this time…

I have to admit I was pretty skeptical as I was making this recipe. I baked it in a 10×15 cookie sheet and was worried that the whole thing would overflow and make a huge mess. BUT…it turned out great. I’ve never made my own crust before and this was super easy, and I used apples from my backyard. I don’t know if I would call it a pie, so much as an apple pie “square”, but once it has cooled it cuts up and serves easily and tastes great! I will definitely use this recipe again.

WONDERFUL! Needed a quick dessert with apples, and tried this. Everyone gave great compliments. Def a keeper for anytime, and makes a great fall dessert on a chilly night with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! I used a different pie crust recipe because I do not like a “roll” pie crust, so I used the “NO ROLL PIE CRUST I” from this website, you just press the crust into the pan with your hand, so much easier and very crisp and flaky.

This was AMAZING. I love it. I followed someone else’s advice and used the “no roll pie crust 1” for the crust because I hate rolling dough and by doubling that recipe it was perfect for the crust. I also used less sugar and thought it was perfect but sweetness is personal. Thanks for such a great recipe.

Hint: Don’t skimp on the butter and brown sugar. I also added some nutmeg and cloves, but that’s just because I’m not too fond of the “just cinnamon” taste. I also recommend leaving out the 3/4 cup sugar in the apples and adding (about) a tablespoon of tapioca starch in. Otherwise a great recipe: would definitely make it again!

Delicious! I only made two changes. One, I cut the sugar back to 3/4 cups for the filling and it was just the right amount of sweet (I would up that to 1 cup if I was using a super tart apple like Granny Smith) and I added 1 cup of old fashioned oatmeal to the topping ingredients. I used a 9 X 13 pan. Also, the secret to a truly incredible apple pie is to use a variety of apples in your filling. I generally use a mix of Rome, McIntosh and Gala. But I also use Jonagold and HoneyCrisp on occasion.

I adjusted the sugar in the apple mixture to 1 cup!!! Plenty sweet! Also increased cinnamon and added some nutmeg!
I found the dough very challenging to roll out…not quite enough for a 10×15 pan. Next time I will increase the dough by 1/3 more and refrigerate the dough for easier handling? -

This dessert is very easy to make and would be wonderful to take to a potluck.
I only had Golden Delicious apples on hand, which aren’t my first choice when baking, but they still worked well in this. I took the suggestion of several other reviewers and cut the sugar in the apples back to 1 cup and it was just right. I upped the cinnamon to 1 tsp and also added a bit extra to the topping, as we’re big on the flavor in my family.
This pie was great served with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with caramel sauce. -

This was wonderful! I must admit I was skeptical because the FH (future hubby) does not like apple pie. I know a crime I tell ya, but I am determined to fine one he likes and this was it! The crust was really good and surprised it came out so well being a thicker crust. I did make a change to half of it and he liked it both ways. First off I separated the topping in half and used 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste and 1/2 c pecans to it and pulsed in the food processor a few times to chop the nuts. The pie had good flavor. The other thing I did differently was I diced my apples instead of just slicing them. I found out it was easier for smaller kids to eat and enjoy it to without much supervision years ago, so now I do all my apple pies this way. Thanks for the recipe now I can actually have pie now without half of it going to waste.

This is great. Of course, what isn’t good with apples. I did change it just a little. I use apple pie spice in place of cinnamon, and because my apples are so juicy this year I add an extra tablespoon of flour. My apples are so sweet I was able to cut back on the sugar some too. These are things a cook has to play by ear.

This recipe is so delicious! I made this for our Friendsgiving dinner last night and it was a huge hit! The crust mixture was a little dry so I added about 3 tablespoons of water into it to help it spread in the pan easier. My top crust mixture didn’t crumble quite like the picture implied it should, so I added some of the leftover lemon sugar from the apples, as well as a tablespoon of water. My top crust was a little more traditional pie-like, but it was still SO GOOD. I will definitely be making this for Thanksgiving next week, too!
Edited 12/9/15: I just wanted to update with my wonderful Thanksgiving trial. I learned that this is a recipe that is not so great if you assemble the whole pie and leave it to refrigerate overnight. I am going to assume that it was the lemon juice/sugar mixture on the apples that caused this, but when I went to pull the pie out for transport before baking, I spilled an amazing amount of sugary liquid all over. It was like, sweet apple sweat. I ended up taking the pie and baking it anyway, and it STILL turned out amazing, even though various family members kept turning the oven off while it was baking! This is a great recipe, but if you need to make it prior to baking, take the extra time to assemble it directly beforehand. I keep finding strange sticky spots.

This was the best apple pie I have ever made!! I followed the directions but substituted butter instead of shortening in the crust – I prefer the true butter flavor. We ate it for dessert and then finished it for breakfast the next morning. Vanilla ice cream a must for both feedings!

I made this for the first time on a camp for 50 people, it was a real hit and an easy recipe to make in bulk. I followed the advice of others that reviewed and just pressed the dough into the pan rather then rolling, and used butter instead of shortening. As others said it was possibly on the sweet side and in future I would use less sugar. However all in all the campers loved it and it was perfect served hot with ice-cream or cream.

We served this at a family party today and everyone loved it. We did follow the advice to cut back the sugar in the filling and the topping. We also added a small amount of nutmeg in the filling as well. We used 3 different apples and left the peel on one of them. It gave the finished product and awesome pink color. We used the no roll crust II from this site and it worked out great.We also added some oatmeal to the topping. We will absolutely make this again.

I wanted to love this recipe but didn’t. ..sorry I followed the recipe exactly.. but it is way too sweet & we love sweet ..it looked nice but after cooking for an hour the apples were way to mushy..all the brown sugar turned into gooey, sticky molasses. It really kind of liquified the apples. I used a 9×13 pan & all quality products this recipe just didn’t work for me.

Very easy and turned out beautifully. I used a no roll pie crust recipe from this site. Even though I cut back the sugar on the apples, it was still much too sweet for my tastes, although that may be due in part to the apples as well (McIntosh). I will definitely try this again, maybe a half recipe,with the sugar further reduced. Otherwise, a lovely recipe – thanks for sharing it!

I made this exactly as the recipe is written. We really liked it. The only thing is I wish we had eaten it sooner. It didn’t taste as fresh the next day or days after, as this was one of many pies we had for Thanksgiving. The top/bottom got soggy. Add some vanilla ice cream and eat it warm – YUM!

i think this would be good in a smaller pan. Everything was thin. The crust needs to be rolled out very thin to fit that size pan and I didn’t feel it had enough fruit. I cut up an extra apple and added it, but didn’t have any more to put in. I cut down on the sugar after reading the other reviews which turned out to be about right. I used 1 cup sugar with the apples. I think I’ll try this again but use a small pan or plan on buying more apples to make the recipe.

LOVED THIS RECIPE! But even before I made it I could tell the white sugar was going be too much! I followed the recipe completely until I got to the filling. Try this filling recipe if you want less white sugar but don’t want to lose that amazing taste. I used Fuji apples. They are sweeter and require less sugar which is why this adjustment worked so well!***
Cut and skinned Fiji apples
3/4 cups of white sugar
2 tbls of brown sugar
1 tbls honey
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbls lemon juice
2 tbls all purpose flourMix.
Follow all other instructions 🙂

This is delicious. It is a bit of work but worth it in the end. I served with salted caramel ice cream. I made three small changes – I only used 1 C sugar in the apple filling and it was plenty. Only used 4 big granny smith apples and it was as full as possible. Used butter in the crust instead of shortening. I only have butter in my house so it was great (more like a shortbread crust). YUMMY!

I usually can’t make a pie crust to save my life so I buy Betty Crocker pie crusts found in the refrigerated section. However, I got brave and made this pie crust along with the entire recipe and it turned out so good. I couldn’t believe I didn’t have any problems with it. I used Honey Crisp Apples and it was a big hit.

yes I made the topping too wet prbably we will see when I take it out of the oven.
Thank you so much for giving the recipe printed as so many are saying you can get the recipe someplace else on their
web but I can never find it so that is why i quilt watching Lara Vitalie I never can find her recipes -

The finished product turned out great. However, some parts of this recipe really need to be explained. The dough came out really sticky and wet. It firmed up when I floured the surface for rolling and kneaded the dough a few times. And cutting in 2/3 cup butter at the end was no easy feat! I used a food processor. You would almost think you were making a mistake on the dough. And the food processor made the task easy at the end. . Like other reviewers, I added the cloves and nutmeg for additional flavor. Recipe came out fine.

We made it, and it was a hit. To make it slightly healthier, though, we cut the sugar from 1 1/2 cups to a 1/2 cup. It was still plenty sweet. I could’ve cut it more. We also didn’t use shortening and substituted margarine instead. Worked out wonderfully. The huge dessert was gone in just a few days, so it was well-liked.

This is a great recipe. Like others, I did tweak it just a bit by adding ground cloves and nutmeg to the filling and reducing the sugar to only one cup. Plus, I added oatmeal to the topping. Other than that, I followed the recipe and great rave reviews from the whole family. I’ll definitely make this again.

TIP: may want to use a 9×13 pan. only changes were to use apple pie spice instead of cinnamon and used 2 tsp in the apple mixture but omitted any spice from the topping. i didn’t bother to roll out the dough but was able to easily pat it into a 9×13 pan. I think next time I would cut down on the sugar a bit but those that had it did not think that it was too sweet. I used half macintosh, half granny smith. This stored well for me. made it one evening and wasn’t served for more than 24 hrs later and had no sogginess of crust, and the top was still nice and crisp. consensus among guests was that they loved it. nuked it with a bit of french vanilla ice cream on top. would make again since it was a hit.

I got rave reviews on this. The first time I made it, I had to double the recipe to fit the pan. The second time I used a 9×13 baking dish and it came out perfect! I also used Granny Smith apples (always do when baking), so the sugar amounts worked with the tart apples. Served warm with vanilla ice cream! This a definite keeper!

Based on other reviews and given my own requirement of serving 12, I made this in a 9 x 13 pan, only used 1 cup of sugar in the apple mixture, and used 4 Granny Smith and 4 Honeycrisp apples but made no other ingredient or instruction changes. I was worried about the top and while it didn’t “crisp up” as much as I would have expected, it turned out OK. I did like the “depth” this had in the 9 x 13 pan over the relatively thin layer it would have turned into using the 10 x 15 pan. It was well-received at Thanksgiving and reheated nicely in the microwave, too. This came to my attention through one of the allrecipes mailing lists, and I’m glad it did. I will definitely make this again (and, in fact, expect I might even get a request to make if for one of the Christmas meals this year!) Thank you, Marsha Crom!!
