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 recently went to an apple festival in NC. I had never made a pie before, any pie, and wanted to give it a try. I used honey crisp apples from Grandads Farm and a pie crust recipe from this site. I carefully followed all directions. Absolutely wonderful!

Made this tonight and the flavour is amazing. I did add extra flour to thicken as well (will probably add more next time perhaps an extra 2T) Also added a couple of sprinkles of watkins apple pie spice. Kids probably would have eaten it all if I had let them. I may reduce the sugar a tad next time but still enjoyed just the same.

I just made this apple pie today and it came out wonderful! That's saying a lot because I am not a big fan of apple pie. I added a tiny bit of clove because I like that flavor. Great recipe!

We loved the pie, after reading the reviews I did added 3 heafing tablespoons of flour to thicken the pie. Came out great I served the Apple Pie for dinner with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the top.

As a member of our local American Legion, I often donate baked goods to our monthly steak nights. What says America more than homemade apple pie! This recipe is super easy and delicious! Will definitely make again and again!

This pie is great! Everyone loves it, everytime. It isn't too sweet for me. To avoid it being runny, scoop the apples out of the bowl instead of dumping them into the crust. That way, any leftover mixture that didn't coat onto the apples will remain in the bowl. A+ Recipe!
