Everything about this dessert makes it the top request for family gatherings and one of our favorite apple pie recipes. The delightful crust cuts beautifully to reveal a filling with pieces of diced apple. At harvesttime or any time, you cannot beat this delectable apple pie. —Brenda DuFresne, Midland, Michigan

I have made this pie many times over the years. It is NOT a traditional apple pie as it contains no cinnamon, but it's still yummy! We like to eat warm slices along with vanilla ice cream. -Lori in WI.

My dad's favorite dessert has always been apple pie. Several years ago my sister and I went apple picking and went searching for a good apple pie recipe to make with the apples we got for our dad. This is the ABSOLUTE BEST PIE EVER!!! My dad fell in love and now we make it for every family gathering, holiday and birthday. Over the years we have spiced it up quite a bit by adding cinnamon and nutmeg to the filling. We also add crushed pecans to the crust which is a great addition! We have also on occasion added dried cranberries to the filling!!! This pie is easy and delicious, I highly recommend it.

Fantastic! Easy to follow and quick. I added cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg. Will make again and again!

I own a small organic apple farm and I am always trying new recipes.

This pie was easy and delicious.

I did make the filling sauce with my home made apples juice and I added cinnamon.

This will be my new "go to recipe" for apple pie.

This pie was easy to put together but very sweet. It seemed to be missed something so next time I will add cinnamon and nutmeg as other readers suggested. It has a lot of potential and I loved the crust!

I made this last night... it was the worst pie. It tasted so disgusting. Something wasnt right with the filling. It had a weir taste. All I can say it was HORRIBLE. Threw the pie out.

If you make this pie, listen the advice of the kind reviewers and add some spices. I added cinnamon and nutmeg to the filling and the crumbs, and sprinkled more cinnamon on top to make it pretty. I would call it "Apple Crisp Pie." I used a 9.5 inch pie plate, and it was quite full. My bottom crust became hard which made it hard to eat with a fork. I'm starting to think my oven runs a little hot, so I'll need to decrease the cooking time or turn it down 10 degrees.

Made this in hopes of taking it to my church for Thanksgiving dinner......THE WORST pie ever!!! I've made many regular pies that ALWAYS come out ideal. This one burnt around the edges, was THIN after stirring in the apples and vanilla. It ran over in my oven....a COMPLETE waste of my time and money. Never again!

While the pie was quick to put together, it just tasted sort of blah. I will make this again, but will add spices to the filling. As written, the filling has a strange sweet, jelly texture that lacks interest.

Since there was no cinnamon, nutmeg, or apple pie spice in this recipe there was really no flavor. Crust was good but if I make again I will be adding the spices.

When I find a recipe online, I always look at the comments to see what others said about it before I commit to making it. I agree with most comments that this was absolutely DELICIOUS! The only thing I changed was when making the filling, I added a little more than 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves. I added it as soon as I turned on the burner, and whisked it in, a little at a time. I will be making this often!

I made this for the first time yesterday for after dinner and not a single crumb was left.

Thank you, it was great!

The best pie of this type I have ever made. This will probably be my go to recipe for apple pie. I used Rome apples and added a few sprinkles of spices. I used pumpkin pie spices since I was out of apple pie spices ( they are basically the same ). The family loved this pie.

something is off with the filling, wonderful crust and topping though

This is possible the best apple pie anyone I have ever served it to has eve had after making a few changes. For deep dish, I doubled the oats, used 1/1 4 cups butter and used alittle more flour for the crust and topping. I also omitted the water cornstrach method althogether, but added alittle lemon juice to the apples instead. I mixed same amount of tapioca, as cornstarch, into apples(which can be increased along with sugar depending on pan side) along with the sugar and put the vanilla in apples too; decreased the oven temp to 325-335 and baked until apples were done. I also covered the edges with tin foil from the start. Never stayed on the counter very long. Yum Yum

I've made the pie many, many times and make these adjustments every time: I use brown sugar instead of white, add cinnamon, vanilla, butter and a dash of lemon juice to the filling after it's thickened. It's always a hit!

I love the pie crust so much that I used it with another recipe, but I didn't like the filling.

Reviewed on Dec. 10, 2011 by Chococatgirl

I have made this pie several times over the years, and people actually request it. If you love fruit crisps, you will like this pie. It is best eaten fairly soon after you make it, as the topping starts to draw moisture from the fruit.

Great recipe, I did change it up some, I used 1/2 cup brown sugar blend (splenda) and 1/2 splenda in place of the sugar in the filling.and I used about 6-8 cups apple> I love more filling in my pie. also added cinnamon and nutmeg. with the pie filling. It was so goood that it never had a chance to cool off.

Very good. I increased the receipe ingredients to make it deep disn. Of course I increased the cooking time. I also added 1 tsp cinnamon to the syrup mix for a more thanksgiving/fall flavor.

This pie is very heavy on crust/topping. It definitely needs some flavoring - cinnamon, nutmet, etc. Very bland. Will not make again.

This actually makes a much better apple crisp! I just place apples in the bottom of a baking dish and sprinkle the crust portion on top. I also add 1 tsp cinnamon when making the apple mixture.

First pie I've ever made. Turned out perfect. Tart and juicy, but not to sweet and gooey. Will definitely be making this again.

very tasty, not real sweet, I added cinnamon and sugar to the apples before putting them together with the cornstarch and water.

Reviewed on Oct. 29, 2011 by Shelley Smith

Yes, the crust is a little dense as others have mentioned, but it is very easy to make and it is tasty. I also happened to have made it with Door County cherries and like that too. This is currently my pie recipe of choice because the crust is so easy to make and tasty and doesn't have a bunch of chemicals in it like a store bought pre-made crust. Making a traditional crust is sometimes a hassle that doesn't always turn out well (for me anyways).

This pie was so yummy and amazingly easy to make. We harvested our apple tree and wanted to try something new, but were a bit intimidated by standard pie crust. This came together easily, pressed into the pie plate in no time at all, and was so delish! We added a little cinnamon to both the crust and the apple mixture. Yum!!!

I have made this pie for years, and it is one of my favorite fast homemade recipes. It's a good one for new or young cooks to try because it's easy, yet it looks much more difficult than it is, so it's a good one to use to impress the in-laws or others. I also add a little cinnamon to the apples.

tasty! I reduced the brown sugar to 1/2 cup and I also added 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon when I stirred in the apples and vanilla into the cornstarch mixture.
