After making this pie over the weekend, I decided that next time I will add a few touches. First--I will definitely put sugar into the crust. I either used a too small of a dish or something, but there was too much crust and it didn't taste like anything. Then, I pre-cooked the apples first with some flour in them and made them "sticky". I saw that in one of Ramsey's shows and for the first time in my life my bottom crust was as flaky as the top and I didn't need to pre-cook the bottom crust! I am never going to use raw apples straight in the pie again. It reduces the cooking time as well as makes an incredible crust. However, overall, the recipe was simple and very good.

I had never made a pie before and always thought that it was a very difficult process. This recipe was actually very easy. I didn't have access to Northern Spy apples, so I just used a mix of Pink Ladies, Fujis and Galas.... I don't think it matters what apples you use. I had a bit of trouble the first time I made it to transfer the dough after I rolled it out into the dish. It broke in pieces and I sort of molded it back together and that actually worked fine. The 2nd time I made the pie I used wax paper to roll it on and that made it WAY easier. I've gotten LOTS of compliments on the pie and there has never been a slice leftover.

I stayed with several friends while on an extended 6 week trip to Germany. I pulled up this recipe to make a genuine American dessert for my friends and before I left Germany I made this pie 5 times! Everyone loved it.

I had to use a spring form pan since pie pans are not something you find in Germany. I found I actually like it better this way and have continued to use a spring form for making the pie when I returned to Kentucky.

I thought the vinegar and egg in the crust was strange at first but somehow it all work out. I am not the greatest baker but my crusts were consistently flakey and scrumptious.

I was looking for an apple pie that would slice perfectly, this one is the way to go. I made 8 of these in one day for a wedding, also liked that they are easy to make. The taste of the crust could be better, but it is OK.

I made this pie for the first time yesterday, after craving my grandmother's apple pie. My dad is an apple pie "enthusiast", and he can't stop raving!

I used apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar, and golden delicious apples. I'm making another one this weekend for friends!

I have made this recipe a couple of times now , I just made it this evening and it turned out great! I actually only used 2 Apples and that was plenty, I suppose it just depends on how much you slice them up. I used golden delicious and i actually left the skin on them, they taste like fried apples from Cracker Barrel. The only thing i have to warn is that the first time my mom made the recipe and she took it out after the suggested time and it was kinda of runny instead of gooey so just keep an eye on it. I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I do!

The best apple pie I've made ever. I never buy shortening so I used half butter and little under half of the oil in place of the shortening. Really good! I ended up baking 7 of these for friends and family. It was truly a hit!!!!

I made this pie for the first time a few months ago. I took it to a private club I was waitressing at to be used for desserts for the customers. I got one slice to bring home, and the rest was sold! The customers loved it.
I'm making it again for Thanksgiving for my family.
My tweaks - I used all granny smith apples, as they are my favorite and easily available year round. Also, I mixed a little vanilla in my egg wash and it gave the pie a little extra golden brown deliciousness. Also, I invested in an apple peeler-corer-slicer. It worked great and gave me perfectly even slices that cooked evenly, even in my less than reliable oven.
One of the best parts of this pie, if you layer the sliced apple in carefully, every slice comes out perfectly - no losing your filling when you pull out that first slice.

these apples don't cook down too much. they are not easy to find but worth the hunt.
