Using a variety of apples really helped! Also I used brown sugar for the filling. Made the pie that much better! This was also my first apple pie- came out better than I expected!

I made this recipe today and was surprised at how little time it took especially with an apple, peeler/corer/slicer i picked up for $10 a bed bath and beyond. I took the advice of some other reviews by adding way more apples of assorted kinds, double the flour in the filling, adding caramel syrup to the filling, adding more cinnamon to the filling, and egg washing the top of the pie before sprinkling with cinnamon and sugar. This pie was a huge hit tonight! I will definitely be making it again!

Last night, I baked this pie. My first applie pie from scratch. Pretty darn good! Here's what I did. I left the dough in the fridge for almost an hour. Multi-tasking cooking. I used the secret to flour the board, but wanted to make sure no to over do it. Still sticky...apparently you need lots more flour! I used 7 small Granny Smith apples, and had them marinating in the bowl of flour, sugar, cinnamon for awhile. By the way, I did not use Vegetable shortening...never use that stuff! I'm butter all the way. Unsalted. The crust was moist, and had a delicious flavor! Next time, more apples!

This is the best crust for an apple pie ever! The secret is to flour the board like crazy and keep it covered in flour while you roll the crust out. Also, I used Granny Smith apples and only used 4 because I found this to be better than the time I made it with Northern Spy apples. Just be sure to let the crust chill for 15-30 min and keep it floured!

This was my first time every attempting to make a pie, let alone from scratch. And my friends and I thought it tasted fantastic. I have to say though I also had trouble transferring the pie crust dough. I ended up just rolling out the dough on wax paper covered in flour, and just flipping that into pie tin when I had a big enough circle. Worked surprisingly well.

Very easy to make and quick. I had to make some substitutions because I didn't have all the ingredients. I used apple cider vinegar and margarine instead of white vinegar and vegetable shortening. I used Golden Delicious apples.

I made this for Thanksgiving and it was great! I used a premade crust, the kind that you roll out. The filling was perfect. So simple, so good. Not sure which kind of apples I bought but I did get them from Whole Foods.

I've made this apple pie recipe twice already and have made the dough twice for sweet potato pie over Thanksgiving. Everyone raved about the crust and thought it was from the bakery.
Thanks to those who recommended using a little more flour in the pie filling than suggested in the recipe. I used 4 Tablespoons flour to keep it from being too runny/wet.

I brushed the top of the crust with egg-wash and sprinkled sugar for that caramelized sheen and color effect. Winner!

TIP for transferring the dough: Roll dough to a circle, fold it over gently to make a half-moon shape. Fold over gently onto itself again to make a 90 degree angle. It will look like a triangle (with a semi-circle edge. It makes it easy to pick up. Align pointed part of the triangle onto the middle of your pie plate and unfold.
