crust is def delish and easy.I too added much less zest. its a matter of taste on adding the juices but i like the flavor of citrus in with my pie adds another dimension and i think just pairs well together. i dont like my desserts too sweet so the sugar was fine for me and again the apples you use in a pie really just depends on your taste. I switch every time i make apple pie but i do like granny's the hold up nicely. but rating the recipe i had to give it a 4 bc i do think the amount of zest combined with juices is too much.

I used 1/2 Granny Smith, 1/2 Gala apples, used half the zest and only lemon juice to keep apples from turning brown. Crust fantastic and flaky, filling delicious, and the comments kept coming for a week afterwards. This is a keeper.
Those who have complained of tartness may need to adjust the apples, juice, and add the right amount of sugar (I probably add a bit more than called for..it's eyeballed not measured.

This pie is so good. Next time I will add more sugar to cut the tartness, but the flavor was still delicious. I used all granny smith apples. I may try a variety next time also. The crust was flakey and easy to make.

The crust was great. Unfortunately the filling was too tart and bitter. The flavour of the apples and spices were lost. I won't make this one again.

The crust was easy and delicious but the apples were just too tart and the flavors from the zest were too overpowering. Will also use less apples next time. Although the crust was great, it came apart on the bottom.

It was also too tart for me. I switched to using Macintosh apples and that made the difference. I love the citrus flavor, and I agree - the pie crust is fantastic.

Did the filling. Too tart so next time less juice and zest. More sugar and cinnamon. Pastry is fantastic.

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.
