Really nice apple pie recipe! The crust is flaky and rich, which works really well with the fresh, tart apple filling. It should be noted that Ina likes the apples in her pie to be crisp, so I recommend cooking the apple mixture on the stove beforehand if you prefer a softer texture; just make sure to cool it completely before you put it in the unbaked crust.

Woo wont make this mistake again. Way to tart and slightly bitter!!! The crust was great, and picture perfect, but the filling..NOT! Way to many other recipes out there to try!! Sorry Contessa, but this was a BIG NO-NO!

I read the reviews and didn't add any zest or juices and added a little more sugar and cinnamin in the apple filling. Also, I think because I live in a dry climate (AZ, my crust was tearing a lot. I added more water and had better luck. So if you live in a dry climate, add more water, omit the juices and zests and you got yourself a delicious pie. The crust is sinfully delicious with all the butter and vegetable shortening.

The crust IS 5 STARS!! It was great! The filling: 2 STARS. I got a lot of great reviews on the crust. This was my first time ever making apple pie and my guests showed me a lot of mercy when it came to critiquing this creation. The filling was a flop. TOO citrusy and the spices were off. I made it a second time and again, rave reviews on the crust and the filling was still a flop. I took the advice of other reviews and omitted the citrus alltogether. Allspice is not good in this and the nutmeg should be reduced and the cinnamon increased and it needs brown sugar. Take this recipe for the crust only because it's delicious, easy and fool-proof. Look elsewhere for an apple filling recipe because this one is not good.

Followed everything exactly as the recipe instructed: the orange was overpowering, could not taste the apples. Otherwise, the pastry shell was very good. Definetly reconsider the orange before using it!

This pie turned out very BEAUTIFULLY!!! I used the crust for 2 other pies. The CRUST is FAIL SAFE... When making this pie, make sure you let the ingredients merry before filling the crust. Make sure you taste it and balance out the lemon and sugar. It can be a little tart, which can be fixed with a little bit more sugar.

This pie tasted so bad I had to spit it out. I cooked 2 apple pies for Thanksgiving for my extended family. I bragged about it, one was Ina's one was my own tried and true. Both LOOKED magazine material and I couldn't wait to try. However the first bite made me wince, then I gave it another try thinking it was some mistake. Bitter, sour, the other one was great. I learned: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I won't do that again. BARF

This is the BEST APPLE PIE EVER!!!! However, it is EXTREMELY easy to make the pie turn quite sour by getting happy with the lemon and orange juice. I know by experience, so be careful. If you follow the recipe to a T, it is the perfect amount. But, I found that the lemon and orange zest is not really necessary in the dessert and the weird texture can distract from the wonderful apple filling. I make this every year and my family and friends devour it! I would highly recommend!!

This was the WORST apple pie I've ever made! So many tart apples with WAY TOO MUCH LEMON JUICE AND NOT ENOUGH SUGAR. Don't bother - find another recipe
