I made this today and it was great! First off, mine looked nothing like any of the pictures posted here...my fault! I used 5 granny apples (too many) didn't drain it long enough (too runny) and the pie shell wasn't nearly large enough. My crumbs came out as melted butter (kitchen too warm). Other than that, it cooked up with just a little jiggle in the middle but it was killer!! Can't wait to make it the proper way next time LOL Thanks Leslie for a yummy pie recipe!

This turned out great. My mother was in heaven!! Last time I made it I did NOT boil the apples, it wasn't as good. I could have maybe boiled them another 1 or 2 minutes, but my family likes their apples a little crunchy in their pies (I don't). The texture is a wonderful creaminess, and lovely. The REAL vanilla really set off the apple perfectly! OH, I also cut the sugar down to only 1/2 cup, because last time I used what the recipe called for and it was too sweet. My only complaint was that my topping wasn't like a struesel like I expect. I will try cutting the butter down for the top next time. I used a shortbread crust: 1 1/4 cup flour 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup shortening Mix dry, cut in butter and shortening, press into pan.

We really liked the creamy apple filling, and crunchy cinnamon topping. The only thing I will do different is to increase the amount of the filling by half to use three cups apples for a fuller pie. I'll make this again.

I made this apple pie with hesitation, as people always flip over my traditional apple pie. No need to worry though, actually dh said he ironically prefers this one. He said the cream layer really sets it off. I used pink lady apples, probably at least an extra cup of them, and added no additional sugar. Cooking time was about 2-3 minutes short of the 40 and 15 stated in the recipe, respectively and it came out perfect. Thanks Leslie for an enjoyable twist on the traditional.
