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.

I made this at the spur of the moment for company today. I had the pie prepared & in the oven in less than an hour. I used the silicone pie crust protector that I got from the Shop Taste of Home web site & it worked great! My pie turned out perfect & the only thing I will change next time is I will bake it just a tad longer or maybe at a slightly higher temp as I am at a high altitude.

This turned out great family loved it and like another person I forgot the butter too. It was still great with out it. Would be really good with homemade whip cream.

I made the Apple Pie today. Came out ok. I read the other reviews several cooks said they added additional flour to thicken the mixture. I used granny smith apples so they don't produce a lot of juice so I didn't need the addition flour that is required in with more juicy apples. I did find the pie was a bit too sweet. My fault again I should have tasted my apples.

I add some oatmeal to absorb some of the juice.

So good and so easy. My husband loves it so It is definitely a keeper. I used green apples since that was what I had on hand and they were delicious.

I also use the additional 3 Tablespoons of flour. I also normally use two or three different kinds of apples. This is by far our favorite recipe!
