This recipe was so easy and very delicious. I'm not a strong baker but took a chance and brought the pie as my contribution to a Christmas dinner. The folks at the party raved over the pie. I felt so cool and couldn't believe it was my dessert that was getting so much talk.

I followed the tips from the other reviews and cut down the amount of applesauce that I used. I made an 8 inch pie, so I used about 4-6 ounces. I didn't have any applesauce on hand, but I did have a lot of apples. I decided to make Alton Brown's simple applesauce recipe that includes a touch of brandy or cognac in it. OMG! the applesauce recipe is fantastic too!! This made the most amazing apple pie I have ever had. I found my new apple pie recipe (and home made applesauce too!
