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!

I bought five large Granny Smith apples and they were enough for two pies. My nine-year-old niece, who says she doesn't like apple pie, couldn't get enough of this. She insists we MUST have it for Thanksgiving dinner. The crumb topping is a real treat.

This was my first attempt to make apple pie from scratch. My family LOVED LOVED LOVED this recipe. It will be a staple in our holiday traditions. It replaces a dull regular apple pie and puts it over the top in our household.

I make standard apple pies all the time but I thought i'd try something a little different. This was delicious and my husband and toddler loved it. I used a store bought pie crust because I just won't make one when the store bought ones work wonderfully. I did use apple pie spice along with the cinnamon because I like it that way but otherwise I followed the instructions exactly. I only needed 4 large apples. I will be making this again soon and its going into my "regularly used" recipe book

I've never made an apple pie before and have always wanted to. The first time I came across this recipe in the magazine I knew I wanted to make this pie. I just wanted to wait for the right time. So yesterday we had our first cold snap and I had a huge basket of apples and felt I had my opportunity. I was nervous about making the pie crust because me and pie crusts don't get along. Usually I opt for the Pillsbury dough boy. So I lovingly, just like Virginia Floren Olsen, set about to make this pie. It is the best pie ever. I can't say that enough. The pie crust turned out perfectly. I did substitute butter for the shortening in the pie crust since I didn't have any. I was so proud of my achievement in my first apple pie. My picky husband loved it. I will definately be making this again. So thank you Mrs.Olson for this wonderful pie recipe. It really is a gift.

This is a great recipe and is very easy to follow. I love the crumb topping. No wonder she makes so many over the holidays!! The only thing I did differently was add some lemon juice to the apples. This is what my dad always did and I love slight tang that it gives to the apples. I will be making this recipe many times over the holidays!

This was the first apple pie I made completely from scratch (no store-bought crust). It was very easy and delicious!

I liked this but cut the apples to 4 instead of 5 because I think it would have overflowed. Maybe it was my oven, but I also would reduce the amount of topping if I make this again. The topping didn't brown evenly, and I ended up scraping some of it off. I did use prepared crust, so maybe that had something to do with it as well. It was still good.

This is a fantastic recipe. The entire family loved it and the pie only lasted 2 evenings. This recipe is very similar to my grandmother's pie recipe. Making another one tomorrow. I did cheat and use a Pillsbury pie crust. You'd never know the difference.
