I have never made a pie before ever. This was my first Thanksgiving dinner. This recipe was very simple and turned out delicious. I couldn't find jonagold apples and I was on a very strict budget so I just got a bag of apples at Walmart. I also added allspice. And I used Pampered Chefs Apple/peeler/corer/slicer, which saved me a ton of time. I highly recommend this recipe if you're like me and just learning how to bake pies.

I was skeptical of making an apple pie in July - it's obviously berry pie season - but it's my father's birthday and was made at his request. He is a self-proclaimed apple pie expert. It did not last more than an hour, and everyone raved as they sliced "just one more smidgen." I served it with vanilla ice cream and a slice of very sharp cheddar cheese. It is wonderfully easy to put together, and the only fanciness I added was cutting "firework" vents and "star" crust cookies. I wish I could add a picture - it came out absolutely perfect. I did have to bake an extra 10 minutes, but I added an extra apple so that seems about right. Also, I used Macintosh apples and they were just right; not too sweet and not too tart. For such a simple crust, this was surprisingly light, flaky, and tasty. This will be my go-to apple pie recipe from now on. No other will do.

Simple, quick to make. I used a store bought crust. Only problem I had was that it spilled over while baking so def put a cookie sheet under it. Also, make sure to cook it long enough so the apples are soft enough, so cover with foil to prevent overbrowning. I don't love apple pie, but I liked that this was easy enough. I used braeburn apples, which were recommended by the produce people at Whole Foods since they had no Jonagolds.

My 14 year old daughter who has limited baking experience made this for Thanksgiving dinner. She even wove the top! It was amazing! The crust was perfect the insides were perfect!

I used Granny Smith with a few Macintosh apples. The filling for my family was not to sweet it was perfect. I used Paul Deens pie crust recipe using butter and lard which was perfect also. I baked the pie at 450 for 20 minutes so the bottom of the crust was flakey then turned the oven down to normal for the remainder. I really loaded up the apples really high as they cook down quite a bit so each piece was high and beautiful if i do say myself.

I am a baker but not one to make pies.....this one will be on my hit list forever! I Made it late on a Sat. night and my husband and I ate it a midnight. It was soooooooo delicious....even without the vanilla ice cream!
There is no reason to make a difficult apple pie, this is the best and easiest recipe ever.
Whoever said it was just ok or not sweet enough has compromised taste buds.

My family raves about this pie. They don't care for overly sweet desserts and this was the perfect tart-sweet combination. I do add a dash of ground cloves because we like this flavor. I have also made this with store-bought crust and the pie is just as good if not better. I tend to have a heavy hand with dough.

The recipe was easy to follow and surprisingly simple to make. This was the first pie that I made ever...so proud of myself. The only problem is that the bottom crust stuck to the pie plate. Definitely grease or spray the plate before making this...and it's NOT part of the recipe.
