I have to give this recipe 5 stars because I made it for the first time yesterday, entered the pie in our local Park District's Pie Contest and won the 'Best Tasting Pie' award! That says alot about the recipe because I am not a very experienced pie maker at all. For future reference, it took 4 large Granny Smith apples to get my 6 cups of sliced apples for the recipe. I peeled and cored the apples and cut them into 12 slices each. Thanks for the great recipe.

The BEST ever apple pie! I was going to post this same recipe, but I first did a search to see if it were posted yet. My neighbor, Jill, brought this pie to us when a friennd of my husbands and his family were killed in a car accident. My husband kept asking me everyday for about a week to get the recipe from Jill. I finally got it and it's the ONLY apple pie recipe I use! I also use Granny Smith apples and I peel and slice them very thin. I use only about 4 - 4 1/2 cups of sliced apples and it works perfect for a normal size 9-inch pastry.

I entered this pie in a local contest over the fourth of July and won first place! I used the "No Roll Pie Crust" #51537, and used Red Delicious and Granny Smith apples (half and half).Other than that I followed the recipe exactly. The secret is to really pile the apples high and then push the topping onto them with your hands to kind of pack it on. I also cooked the crust for about 10 minutes before filling it.It looks wonderful and tastes increadible! Thank you Wendy for a winner.

Wow!!!!!! I made this with my mom and we used 4 granny smith apples, peeled. We also used 3/4 c sugar, 4 1/2 Tbsp flour, 1 1/2 tsp cinn, and a smidge more salt as we were worried that we had TOO MANY apples. Followed the rest of the recipe exactly. We placed a piece of aluminum foil over the pie (to make sure the top didn't burn) and baked it an extra 10 minutes to make sure that apples were cooked through. I think that this was the BEST apple pie I have ever tasted. My mom also put me in charge of bringing the apple pie to Thanksgiving dinner from now on. Thanks for an excellent recipe!!!

My first attempt at apple pie and my husband is eagerly awaiting my second! I used a frozen pie crust to save on time. I also had a hard time getting 6 cups of apple in there but they cooked down so it all worked out. I think next time I will peel the apples though.

I've made Caramel Apple Pie before, but never as good as this! This will be my only apple pie recipe from now on. Wonderful! I use Pillsbury crusts that are ready made (from the refrigerated section) and I discovered long ago that they taste just like scratch. Made the pie with Granny Smith apples (about 6), and I precooked the crust for 10 minutes before filling it. Yummy!

This pie is to die for if you like caramel apples! I made it as a thank you to my sister and bil. Once it was cut, they were asking me when I could make it again and for the recipe. I did leave out the pecans because my sister dislikes them and I used a combination of granny smith, yellow delicious, and fuji apples. I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone who likes apple pie.....YUMMY!

Great pie. If you don't like really really sweet, then cut the brown sugar in half. Don't change anything else though, it's fabulous.

I am not a big pie maker and this turned out great! I also used the Pillsbury ready-crust and cooked it ahead for 10 minutes. The second time I made this, I used Fuji apples that were on sale. I think using Granny Smith''s are much better! Thanks for posting!

That was such an AWESOME recipe!! I did not use quite as many apples, any pecans or caramel(my DH does not like any of that) but it was sooo good! I served it with some Vanilla ice cream. I also used a Pillsbury crust for the bottom instead of making my own. Thank you!!!!!
