You'll love the smell in your kitchen—and the smiles on everybody's faces—when you make this scrumptious pie that's drizzled with caramel sauce. It's takes me back home to Virginia and being at my granny's table. —Gloria Castro, Santa Rose, California

My husband and I, whom aren't lovers of fruit pies, absolutely love this pie! It's a tradition now every year for Thanksgiving. You'll only need a little slice, it's very sweet! Definitely worth the time...you need to make this one!!

I made pie for the first time ever today using this recipe ~ The apples came from our very own apple trees. The filling was enough for two 9 inch pies. Delicious! :D I'm inspired for my next pie venture now!

I think the filling is enough for 2 pies. I used the 9in shell like the recipe states. My shell was overflowing and I could barely put the topping on. I'm glad that I put this on a baking sheet while in the oven because the carmel boiled over. I also had to bake it for about 90 minutes. My husband thought there were too many nuts. Overall a good pie though.

I made this for a function at church and it was gone in no time at all. Since then I have been asked time and time again for the recipe...or to bring it to more functions. It's the best apple pie I've tasted. Yummy

This is the first pie I attempted to make on my own as opposed to store bought and I was very pleased!! I got great reviews from my family members who are tough critics! I used a pre-made crust since this was my first pie and I didn't want to get in over my head. I also used half the cinnamon serving as other reviewers suggested and I'm glad I did!! Overall I will definitely be making this again and storing it as my official Apple Pie Recipe!
