This pie won Grand Champion in the Apple Pie category at the 1992 Okanogan County Fair. The pie looks traditional, but making your own filling gives it a different flair and great taste. —Dolores Scholz, Tonasket, Washington

This was the best apple pie I've ever made. I believe that taking the extra step to cook the apples just enough was the key to this recipe. The apples were still in tact but they were soft and delicious, and the crust was perfect in the 35-40 minute cooking time. I did not start at 450 for 10 minutes because I don't like my crust to be too brown.

p.s. I used 2 tablespoons of apple juice instead of water and I dotted with 2 tablespoons of butter before covering with top pastry.

I baked this recipe for the first time at a harvest fair entry in an apple pie contest. I won first place with rave reviews!! Absolutely delish!

I make this pie every chance I get or any time there are some apples just sitting around. I love a hand made crust so I just use my own recipe for that. The filling I use goldens they hold up ok and taste devine. My family and friends just love this pie. Try it you'll find it's almost impossible to mess up.

I made this for a bbq cookout last fall and it was a hit! I cheated and used a store-bought refrigerator pie crust (I am scared to make one from scratch after my first diaster!). The filling is sweet and warm...just like apple pie ought to be!
