Kentucky Apple Festival Apple Pie
By: KC_Cooker
Mar 16, 2000
I adopted this recipe during the Recipezaar abandoned account recipe adoption. This is a delicious pie with an easy, no fuss crust. The crust is tender and flaky at the same time and the flavor is just the perfect amount of sweetness! Try it and you'll see why it is a Festival winning apple pie! 10/12/04, Edited: cooking time/temperature

Just the apple pie I was looking for! I did make my own crust (have a tried and true recipe I love) but the filling was excellent. I used a wide variety of apples in the pie ... excellent!!!

I have never made a pie before and was determined to tackle one. I looked at other recipes and they were extremely complicated then I came across this one. Since it was so simple I thought it would turn out not as good, but my boyfriend and I fell in love instantly; it quickly became an instant hit at my dinner too! I think i added a little more cinammon and a little bit of ground cloves- it was perfect, i loved the crust! Thanks so much!

This is a yummy recipe! I added just a dash of flour to the apple mixture, to keep apple juices a little thicker. I also found the cooking temp to be a little too high. My crust was very dark brown after only about 15 minutes. I reduced the temp to about 350 and it cooked nicely.

This is the best apple pie I have ever made (and I have been baking apple pies for 25 years!). The crust is outstanding, absolutely delicious when made with real butter. Only change I made is that I used golden delicious apples, which I had, instead of the granny smith. Highly recommended.
