I remember coming home sullen one day because we'd lost a softball game. Grandma, in her wisdom, suggested, "Maybe a slice of hot apple pie will make you feel better." One bite...and Grandma was right.

Excellent taste. Totally worth trying. Definitely a classic.

I've used this recipe for the last two Thanksgivings and it comes out great! I read the reviews and decided to scoop the apples out of the large bowl, instead of pouring them. That kept the pie from being too soupy. This recipe is a keeper!

This is an amazing Apple Pie - it is yummy and reheats very well! A big hit at our New Year's Eve party. Will repeat recipe for the next family/friends event. Highly recommended!

I've made this pie twice now and it was delicious both times! One variation that my dad remembers from his childhood is to use an oatmeal crisp on top rather than a second pie crust. I used the crisp recipe from this site "Winning Apple Crisp" but made the rest of the pie as directed on this site, covering the entire pie for the first 20 minutes. Incredible!

Made this pie for Thanksgiving, was going to make a pumpkin pie, but then my son-in-law gave me some apples, so made this one instead, and everyone loved it.
