Apple Pie
I remember coming home sullen one day because we'd lost a softball game. Grandma, in her wisdom, suggested, "Maybe a slice of my homemade apple pie will make you feel better." One bite, and Grandma was right. If you want to learn how to make homemade apple pie filling, this is really the only recipe you need. —Maggie Greene, Granite Falls, Washington

I have a ton of apples and decided to make Apple pie. I’ve always heard Granny Smith apples make the best pies. It turns out it’s because tart apples have the most pectin and other apples can make your pie soupy. Lesson learned... either use Granny Smith or allow apples to macerate and release juices prior to baking. Watery or not, the pie was still delicious!
Best apple pie I've ever made! And I have it on good authority - two experts at eating apple pie - a grandson and a neighbour!
Very bad recipe pie turned out horrible baking time and oven temperature are way off.
These recipes look great! It’s awesome to see so many delicious recipes in one place.
A classic treat. Followed the recipe exactly except for the egg wash and sugar on top of the crust at the end.
Best apple pie ever
Amazing
Awesome. Great recipe. And I believe that the 1/2 c sugar means white sugar. Because I don't know of any other sugars.
The amount of white sugar isn't listed on the recipe. This info would be helpful.
I have never baked a pie before but this came out amazing ! I didn’t use any ginger and only used 2lbs of apples witch I recommend. I also used Macintosh apples (they were a tad bit sour) But over all it was very delicious !!
