    Quick and easy to make! Tasted great!

    • 22 years ago

    simple and delicious.

    • 22 years ago

    My children enjoyed this pie very much. I made this for Thanksgiving. It was my first time making an apple pie from scratch. This recipe made it easy. My pies turned out great. I will use this recipe again.
    Thanks.

    • 19 years ago

    This was my 1st ever attempt at making apple pie. It was VERY easy to make and my family LOVED it!! I added a sprinkle of nutmeg to the spice mixture otherwise followed recipe exactly. My hubby and father can’t wait for me to make it again!! Thanks!!

    • 18 years ago

    Fantastic!

    • 18 years ago

    This was really good pie! We loved it. I used an assortment of apples:
    2 Fujis
    2 Granny Smith
    2 Golden Delecious
    I think that’s one of the secrests to a really good apple pie, combining really good apples together.
    I also ended up adding more cinnamon than called for, about 1 tsp as well as 1/2 tsp of nutmeg as I really like a spicy apple pie. I slpashed about 1 tblp of real mexican vanilla over the top of the apples, before I put the top crust on.
    To top it off, I brushed 2-3 tblsp mented butter on the top crust, and sprinkled it with a few tblsp granulated sugar. This made for a beautifuly golden, and crispy top crust. I served it warm with fresh whipped cream. YUM!!!!!

    • 18 years ago

    This pie was very easy, in fact it was the first time I ever made a pie. I had way too many apples, even though I used a deep dish, so I left some out. The only thing is that next time I will add more sugar–its just didn’t seem sweet enough. But it was still really good.

    • 18 years ago

    This is a great, easy applie pie. I usually use an assortment of apples (Fujis, Granny Smith, Pink Ladies, etc.) which gives a nice variety of flavor.

    • 18 years ago

    I made this pie for Thanksgiving and it was easy and fantastic! If you love cinnamon, you’ll love this pie.

    • 18 years ago

    Wonderful pie! I used Fuji apples and everyone loved it. The recipe is so simple and tasty that this is the ONLY apple pie recipe I will use now. Thanks!

    • 18 years ago

    I had never made an apple pie before and was worried about it turning out runny, but this one was perfect! I baked it for 15 minutes at 425 to set the crust and then for 50 minutes at 350. Got rave reviews at Thanksgiving and only one piece was left! Used Granny Smith apples and brushed the top crust with milk and sprinkled with sugar. Very tasty, beautiful pie! Thank you!

    • 18 years ago

    I used this recipe to make my very first apple pie ever. It turned out wonderful! I took advice from another review on here to use different types of apples as well as added a little nutmeg for spice. I drizzled a little caramel over the apples before top crust, that added a nice extra flavor and moisture. Everyone loved it! I will use this recipe again!

    • 18 years ago

    I used the Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust and the pie came out perfect. It was the best apple pie I’ve made. I also used the food processor to cut the apples really thin and I think that helped.

    • 18 years ago

    This turned out great! I made it for a Thanksgiving dinner with my friends – and everyone loved it! It was very easy. This was my first time making a pie – so if I can pull it off, anyone can!

    I skipped dobbing butter on the apples after putting them in the pie – and they turned out much crispier -rather than mushy. I also used an assortment of apples…

    DELICIOUS! TRY IT!

    • 17 years ago

    very good!

    • 17 years ago

    Good stuff

    • 17 years ago

    Great apple pie. Wouldn’t change the recipe!

    • 17 years ago

    Yummy.. this was great. I omitted the butter and instead added 10 caramels, cut in half. I put half the apples in the crust, then half the caramels, then the remaining apples and caramels. Brushed the crust with cream and sprinkled with sugar before baking. Absolutely wonderful.

    • 17 years ago

    Very easy and absolutely delicious!

    • 17 years ago

    Easy AND Delicious!!! I will definately make this again.

    • 17 years ago

    This was a great pie! I made it with a crumbly top and it had such a great flavor. The apples are still crispy which I loved.

    • 17 years ago

    This is a great basic apple pie recipe. My family loved it!

    • 17 years ago

    This pie is packed full of apples and make a wonderful treat 🙂 I used Granny Smith apples and added a touch of nutmeg. For the crust I used a Jiffy brand. Awesome recipe, I will be making this again and again!!

    • 17 years ago

    Great recipe, simple & delicious. I used 4 different kinds of fresh picked apples. Also I added nutmeg, vanilla & more cinnamon to the apples.

    • 17 years ago

    Delicious! I used a mixture of Granny Smiths and Braeburns, and there was a LOT of apple filling! My husband said he prefers a “flatter” apple pie – this one was super tall because of all the apples. I made a homemade crust and added 1/8 tsp each of nutmeg and cloves as well as the cinnamon. I like one reviewer’s idea of adding a splash of vanilla, because this pie seemed to lack moisture somehow. I’ll keep tinkering, but I love this basic recipe!

    • 17 years ago

    I’m not big on apple pie but my husband is. He said it was the best apple pie he ever had which made me a happy baker. The only changes I did was I used self rising flour, splenda, egg whites instead of whole eggs and I also added a touch of nutmeg. In addition, I brushed egg white on the crust. Thanks for a great recipe!

    • 17 years ago

    i used Cox’s apples for this one, my husband really likes it,he says it reminds him of Christmas. better than plain old apple pie. thanks.

    • 17 years ago

    Very easy and tasty. I omitted the butter and used a tablespoon of lemon juice. Yummy!

    • 17 years ago

    I’m a homeschool mom, and decided my kids could use a fun filled home-ec class(oldest is 7 and twins are 5)! My kitchen looks like a tornado hit it, but the pie was worth it! We added a touch of pure vanilla, nutmeg and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Great recipe-Thanks for sharing!

    • 17 years ago

    Overall this is a good apple pie. I used the mix of apples as others suggested. I put the bottom pie shell in the oven for 10 min. before pouring the apples in to make sure it didn’t come out soggy in the end. I also mixed a little squeeze of lime juice to add a bit more tart in the apples. I think I will try another recipe, in the end it just tasted like a fresh McDonalds apple pie.

    • 17 years ago

    So easy, tasted great, not too sweet! A really nice pie recipe! Thank you!

    • 17 years ago

    Absolutely delicious! I had never made an apple pie before and this one turned out beautiful and very tasty! We loved it!

    • 17 years ago

    OMG, this simple pie tasted soooooo good! Due to my bf’s oven we had to cook almost twice as long before the crust looked done, but boy oh boy, the apples and crust were perfect. It wasn’t the prettiest pie due to my 9.5 inch pan, but it really was tasty.

    • 17 years ago

    I made this pie for Thanksgiving this year and it was very good.
    I added a bit more cinnamon and sugar. There were no leftovers.

    • 17 years ago

    This was the first pie I’ve ever made, and it came out amazingly. Absolutely delicious and was a hit at Thanksgiving! I used 8 apples instead of 6, half macs and half cortland.

    yay!

    • 17 years ago

    Perfect simple apple pie recipe, without a doubt.

    • 17 years ago

    My guy made this for me this past Sunday (oddly enough) and it was fantastic. Better than the one I had made, that’s for certain….used Granny Smith apples and added some nutmeg and allspice but other than that, no changes. Perfect and simplistic. Thanks!

    • 17 years ago

    this recipe was very good but had to add a little more flour for thicking but overall this was very good found this recipe to be very helpful

    • 17 years ago

    Fabulous! The only thing I did a little different was add a spash or two of lemon juice. Don’t know if that makes a big difference but either way, this recipe was a hit for Thanksgiving!

    • 17 years ago

    I just returned from a Christmas party and the guests raved about this delicious pie that I brought! I used Gala apples and sprinkled 1/2 teaspoon vanilla over apple mixture before adding top crust. Super easy and very good. I will definately made again.

    • 17 years ago

    This was the first apple pie I have ever made. It was quite good. I used Granny Smith apples. I also used Pillsbury ready made pie crust. There were only 1 downside to this pie. I think maybe next time I make this I will add some sugar on the top crust to give the topping a bit more of a flavor. Other than that…it’s a keeper!!

    • 16 years ago

    I made this pie at Cub Scout camp for a group of 10 boys. They loved it! I used Granny Smith apples. I also used 1Tbs. brown sugar and sprinkled vanilla over the apples.

    • 16 years ago

    I give it 5 stars because of the ease of making it and how tasty it is. The hardest part is peeling the apples and that you can do in front of the TV if you want! I cooked it for 20 college students and they decided to learn how so they can make it over and over again. You can really wow your friends and family with this even if you don’t usually bake!

    • 16 years ago

    Fantastic! I love the cinnamon flavour, it is very “right there” with this pie … yum!!! I used the Best Ever Pie Crust from this site and it was terrific. Thanks!!!

    • 16 years ago

    Very good recipe! I baked it this afternoon. I added a little more sugar and cinnamon b/c my apples were pretty large. I also added a little dash of nutmeg and I brushed the top cust with some melted butter and sprinkled sugar all over the top before baking.

    • 16 years ago

    I cut up the amount of apples you had in the recipe and had enough for 2 1/2 pies. I put the extra [with all the seasonings] into a sauce pan, added a litle water and cooked until soft. About 30 seconds in the blender and had the best cinnamon apple sauce ever. Great recipe.

    • 16 years ago

    I never made a homemade pie before, but I had apples that no one was eating. And of course I looked no further than this recipe, because as weird as it sounds, my name is actually Sunday. This was awesome. The pie was gone in 2 days.

    • 16 years ago

    Great pie, Wonderful basic recipe!

    • 16 years ago

    I used 5 apples in a 9 inch pie pan, and they fit perfectly. This was pretty good, thanks!!

    • 16 years ago

    this recipe is so good i used it for the last 2 Christmasses and Thanksgivings.

    • 16 years ago

    not the best. I thought it was actually kind of dry. Don’t think that I will make again.

    • 16 years ago

    I really liked this pie recipe! It was simple yet flavorful. The only thing I did differently was to bake the pie at 400 for about 30 minutes to avoid a soggy crust, but will definitely keep this recipe to use for the future. Thanks!

    • 16 years ago

    Great Pie I made this with the basic shortening crust from Ken Hendrich’s book Pie. Fabulous! Thanks!

    • 16 years ago

    A very tasty pie! I substituted splenda for the sugar and added just a dash of nutmeg and ginger.

    • 16 years ago

    loved it!!!

    • 16 years ago

    This pie was yummy. It came out perfect. Although I did add a teaspoon of vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg. This one’s going in my favorites, for sure!

    • 16 years ago

    Came out Great!
    My family enjoyed going out apple picking and coming home to make a apple pie out of the apples we just picked!

    • 16 years ago

    I love to cook, but have never been a good baker. This recipe was so simple that even I mastered it – even with a 6 & 7 year old helper. Best of all, it turned out great! I followed another’s advice and added 1 tsp of vanilla and 1/4 tsp of nutmeg and sprinkled sugar on top of the pie crust. It was a little soupy at first (probably still too hot), but once it cooled, it was just the right consistency. Make sure you put a cookie tin under the pie tin in the oven or put some aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven in case there is any over flow! This is our new apple pie recipe!!

    • 16 years ago

    I thought the pie was okay, but by using tart apples 1/2 cup sugar was not nearly enough, I used 3/4 cup sugar still not enough. 2 tblsp. flour made pie too dry.
    Thanks for sharing anyway.

    • 16 years ago

    I tried this recipe looking for an easy apple pie to make. My family loved it! I did cheat and use the Pillsbury crust, I also added a little vanilla and nutmeg along with a shot (or two) of ground ginger. I did leave it set for about 3 hours before serving so it wasn’t to runny. Thanks for a great recipe, I am going to be making this often!

    • 16 years ago

    Very good apple pie. I did double the apples and sugar; than put in a 10″ shell. I did not double the flour,cinnamon or butter and it was great and very juicy. I like piled high apple pie. Pie making is my most favorite thing to do! I like to decorate with the extra pie dough.

    • 15 years ago

    It was APPLE PIE…Not too sweet not too tart! Will always do it!

    • 15 years ago

    This pie was easy to make and tasted great. I have made it a few times now, and it’s the only apple pie recipe that I will use. Some of the recipes involve a lot more, and don’t taste nearly as good. I even made a mistake last time I made it, I added 2 tablespoons of cinnamon instead of teaspoons, but I just told everyone that it was an Apple-Cinnamon pie… no one noticed the mistake!

    • 15 years ago

    Very easy to make and the best tasting pie! Two years in a row now we have gone apple picking with our best friends and then we come home and make apple pies with this recipes! SO much fun!!

    • 15 years ago

    Wonderful recipe that was simple to make. My 6 year old son made this with a little help from “Mommy”.

    • 15 years ago

    Was very good and easy to make. I too added extra cinnamon, a touch of nutmeg, allspice, and ground ginger. was very flavorful and will use it again!

    • 15 years ago

    I didn’t change a thing with this recipe and it turned out PERFECT! I made homemade crust and added some sugar and vanilla to the dough for a bit more flavor. I also followed the advice of another reviewer and brushed the top crust with water and sprinkled it with sugar. If you cut the pie right after you take it out of the oven, it’ll be too watery, but after about a half an hour the juice thickens up. I’ll definitely be making this again!

    • 15 years ago

    This was my first attempt at apple pie and it was AWESOME!!!!!!!! Thanks for the great recipe!

    • 15 years ago

    It was a simple recipe and did not have alot of spice, enjoy a little more flavor in pie.

    • 15 years ago

    This recipe is truly fantastic. I used Granny Smiths and agree that 1/2c sugar not enough. I used 1c sugar, increased the cinnamon to 3 tsp, and added 3 tbs heavy cream after I put the apples in the pie crust. I then sprinkled with a little nutmeg.

    • 15 years ago

    Good pie! I also added a sprinkle of nutmeg, and used roll out dough with some milk brushed on top.

    • 15 years ago

    I made this pie today its a cold fall autumn day so I thought I’d try this pie I just took it out of the oven my house smells wonderful I can’t wait to try it I added a little vanilla and nutmeg like other views suggested and after baking I brushed melted butter on top and added cinnamon sugar wow I can’t wait to try it.. Thanks again hopefully it turned out good. OMG this pie is the Bomb!!! I waited as long as I could the pie sat up beautifully the crust was buttery and flaky with the cinnamon topping I had two pieces allready absolutely irrasistable pie I will definitely be making this one again real soon I used the Flaky pie crust in the Food processor and made sure my ingrediants were very cold the crust just melts in your mouth perfect ammount of cinnamon/sugar for the filling absolutely amazing I can’t believe I made it :)) Tammy

    • 15 years ago

    wow!

    • 15 years ago

    This is a very good basic apple pie filling recipe. I will be using this again when I need a nice and simple filling.

    • 15 years ago

    This was my first pie I ever made and it was easy.My family and I thought it tasted great

    • 15 years ago

    This was the first apple pie that I’ve ever made. I liked it because it was simple yet yummy. My husband even liked it and he is not a big fan of pies. My only issue with this recipe was that I felt/tasted flour mixed in with the apples. I don’t know if I didn’t mix it properly or bake it long enough. Any suggestions as to what I did wrong? Besides that I thought it was wonderful.

    • 15 years ago

    Great recipe! The cooking time needed to be altered a little for me.

    • 15 years ago

    I give it five stars because it was so easy and tasted really great. I put way too much cinnamon in it, and instead of slicing the apples I diced them with the skin still on, and it worked out to be perfect. I also wound up baking it for just over an hour and it made it slightly crispy and wonderful. This is my apple pie recipe as of now!

    • 15 years ago

    2 words…OH MY! I follwed the recipe, but sprinkled in a pinch of nutmeg. It’s just juicy enough and perfectly sweet. <3

    • 15 years ago

    I made this pie but tweaked it slightly for my taste by adding 1 Cup of Brown Sugar and 1/2 Teaspoon of Nutmeg. The recipe was simple and the results were awesome, Opt for Ala Mode as you will have plenty of juice to spoon over the ice cream. This one is a Keeper!

    • 14 years ago

    gotta tell ya, my husband and oldest son thought this was fantastic. I am not a fruit pie kinda girl, but they thoroughly enjoyed it at Thanksgiving. Was the first dessert completely consumed asap.

    • 14 years ago

    I made my own pie crust from scratch (which is why i downgraded the recipe from 5 stars) and otherwise followed the recipe- the filling came out perfect 🙂 thanks for the recipe!

    • 14 years ago

    Let me tell you something: I made this pie for my boyfriend’s family, and his father said that it was better than his mother’s (my boyfriend’s grandmother’s) pie. That’s all that needs to be said for how great this pie is.

    • 14 years ago

    Added some fresh lemon juice, and also used 3 different types of apples, added a little dark brown sugar too.

    • 14 years ago

    I just made this pie, and it was awesome. I added 2 strips of bacon and some maple syrup for some reason, so I guess I kind of made my own version. I also added the bacon grease, took out a tablespoon of butter, used only 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and added some salt. I kind of made it up as I went, but it was probably the craziest pie I’ve ever had. This was also the first pie I’ve ever made, so it was pretty satisfying too.

    • 14 years ago

    This was simple and delicious!! After making, there were only 2 pieces left. Enough for a late night snack! 🙂

    • 14 years ago

    This is a very good pie. I substituted 3/4 cup honey for the sugar, added more flour, and put in some vanilla extract and mapline.

    • 14 years ago

    As other reviewers I added some nutmeg, and used only 3 apples (fuji, granny smith and golden delicious). It was my first time making a pie and it came out great.

    • 14 years ago

    Absolutely fantastic!!!! If you double the recipe it can make 3 pies that are winners! I did add nutmeg to flour/sugar mixture and also put 1/4 tsp of vanilla on top of the apples once they were in the pie shell. Will be using again and again – thanks!

    • 14 years ago

    I made this pie today and it was my first time ever making a pie. It came out great! I used 6 med/large Empire apples and substituted cornstarch for flour (since I didn’t have any flour). I also did a couple of other things a bit differently. I remember my grandmother showing me how to make apple pie when I was a kid so I used a couple of her techniques. One was that instead of adding the butter pieces to the mixture in the bowl, I mixed everything else, put a layer of the mixture in the crust, added some butter pieces, put another layer, added butter, etc. for 3 layers. I also brushed the top crust with milk before baking. It was delicious! I will definitely make this again.

    • 14 years ago

    Excellent recipe! I like things to be sweet so I added 1/2 cup of brown sugar and I also added 1/2 tsp of nutmeg. I liked the idea of other posters to brush the top with milk and sprinkle with sugar so I did that too. I’m sure it would have been great without these tweaks, but I altered it a bit to suit my personal tastes. I will never use another apple pie recipe again. This one is a keeper!

    • 14 years ago

    Very good!!!

    • 14 years ago

    This is a wonderful simple recipe and using another reviewer’s suggestion, I used a combination of apples, granny smiths, golden delicious and braeburns. Also used Barefood Contess’a perfect pie crust and the end result was a perfect apple pie.

    • 14 years ago

    Absolutely delicious. Only changes I made was to add a touch more cinnamin and then brushed the pastry with milk and sprinkled sugar on top. Hello Fall weather.

    • 14 years ago

    My husband and I LOVED this pie! This was my first attempt at pie making… I am trying to branch out and start cooking more. I used a 9 inch refrigerated pie pastry and was able to make use of all the apples. The seasonings were just right, not too sweet and not too tart. I added a little nutmeg just for the heck of it. It really turned out great! My husband ate it warm with vanilla ice cream, YUM!

    • 14 years ago

    Very good. It wasn’t to sweet just the way I like it! It would have been better but I made the crust which was a nice crust but, well, I am a terrible pie crust maker.

    • 14 years ago

    If you want a basic simple apple pie, this is it! I had a crust at home already and needed a good quick filling…this one did the trick!

    • 14 years ago

    I rated this a tad lower than most of the other reviews because I feel it necessary to alter the recipe to include 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1 tsp nutmeg. The pie was not sweet enough without the brown sugar, and nutmeg was necessary to compliment the cinnamon. I used this recipe in a 9 inch glass pie dish and baked it at 350 for 55 minutes.

    • 14 years ago

    This is a good traditional recipe. For a little extra, I coated the apples with 1 Tbs lemon juice before adding the dry ingredients, and also added 2 Tbs brown sugar and 1/2 tsp. nutmeg. Next time I make this I want to add some cranberries. Yum!
