    This Caramel Apple pie was so delicious! I made it one night for my family and my 5 year old told me I should "hide it from daddy" so we could have it all to ourselves. It's super simple and so I'm making again to take to dinner at a friends house tonight. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!

    This really is the best apple pie I've ever had. I'm a novice in the kitchen, and this was still easy enough for me. I doubled the filling mixture and used Heath bars for the toffee. This pie is going to be a new tradition in my family.

    This came out excellent as written, but I would suggest putting a cookie sheet with foil underneath. (I know, I should always do that. I thought I sealed it well, but it still bubbled out quite a bit. Also, we made the pie filling first and kept it in the refrig for a couple of days before baking, as a time saver. Came out great.

    I come from a loooong line of pie bakers and wanted to find my "own" apple pie recipe to wow the family with. To me, the finished product was tasty, but not leaps and bounds beyond what my mom was already making.

    Adding the vinegar shortens the gluten proteins that form for a flakier crust - but it is also a lot harder to work with! I also thought it smelled kind of funny in the oven - ketchupy.

    Per others suggestions I did add 1 tsp. of corn starch to the filling and tripled the streusel (but didn't end up using it all. I've been wanting an apple pie that reminded me of one from a picnic that had this wonderful salty caramel. Instead of Heath I used the (Hershey? caramel bits intended for easy caramel apple making. Mistake. Next time I'll make my own.

    Best apple pie I've ever had. Rave reviews. Puffy pastry and the filling was perfection!
    I skipped the streusel and went simplified once. It was still the greatest. My favorite version so far is: chilled Irish plugra in the crust instead of shortening 1lb. - returned to refridgerator to chill while making filling and generously flour as you roll, and buttermilk in the filling instead of cream with dark brown sugar and a pinch of cardamom, no toffee in streusel. The best apple pie on the planet! Thank you so much for this recipe.

    Excellent filling! I used a pre-made pie crust & did not make struesel. I like my bottom crust crispy & brown, so next time I will bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes instead of 15 minutes. The filling is great on its own. Love it. :
