Being the Pie Queen of Canada, I have a favorite and easy pastry recipe that I use. Now I've found a new one. The pastry rolled out like a dream and the filling was wonderful. I reduced the amount of white sugar to 1/4 cup in the filling and found that it was the perfect amount.

I made the Apple Filling. Family like it very much. I found it a bit too sweet next time will cut back the sugar. Will also add some flour to thicken with the juice of the apples. I will be using this recipe again.

This was a fabulous pie !! Wonderful, flavorful filling, and easy to make. Next time, I will pre-bake the bottom crust before filling with apples (in the finished dish,the bottom crust tasted raw/doughy, even with extra baking time, so I will blind bake it before adding the apples next time) and I will add a bit of flour to help thicken the juices next time..But these changes are for personal preference, and should no way be taken as negative..this is an A +++ recipe!!

One word - AWESOME! Nothing else like it. Try it! One suggestions, use raw sugar on the top of the pie before baking instead of white sugar. There is a difference!

Very good pie recipe!! I made two of these pies and gave one to friends. We all loved them! I'm making another one this weekend.

I actually cheated a bit by buying a frozen pie crust and just using the recipe for the apple filling. It came out fantastic but a little runny. I'll add a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch next time. Thanks so much!

I've made this recipe twice now with commercial pie crusts. The first one was a little runny but delicious - the second one was better. I baked the second one at 425 for te first 15 minutes, and then at 350 for an additional 45 minutes. Also I brushed the top crust with milk and sprinkled sugar and a little cinnamon on top. Next time I'll try the crust recipe as well. Thanks!

The flavor of the filling is phenomenal, better than any i have had. Only problem was that I think the pie needed more apples. Once my apples cooked down there was a gap between the filling and lattice crust that wouldnt have been there with more filling. Otherwise awesome.
