Delicious - although I did something wrong with the topping I guess, it didn't turn out like "Dutch" topping usually does, it stayed crunchy and sugary. I was disappointed in how it looked but it tasted wonderful!

My boyfriend really liked this apple pie; however, it was a little sweet for me. I think the next time I may cut down on the amount of sugar in the topping.

This is a fantastic pie! It is very sweet, so as other reviewers have written, use tart apples. I made this pie following the recipe exactly and my family loved it.

My daughter's friends and teacher loved this pie. I thought it a bit too sweet but that's just me. I did have a problem with the crust browning too quickly so next time I'll reduce the initial cooking temp. Think it is a problem with my oven tho. :)

Such a simple recipe, such delicious results! This is the best apple pie I've had. A couple of hints:Make sure you use tart apples - granny smiths do really well in this recipe. Mound the apples up in your crust. It will sink down when it cooks in the oven. It also helps to put a piece of foil beneath the pie in the oven to avoid bubble over in your oven!

This makes the best Apple Pie!!! The crust recipe alone is worth it and I will be using this crust recipe for other pies I make!

This apple pie is award winning. I made this pie for Thanksgiving and I never got so many compliments. Quite a few people told me this was the best Apple Pie they ever had. I will definitely make again!
