I followed all the directions but the crust did not compliment the rest of the pie. The inside of the pie tasted bland and the only thing i could taste was a little tart/ sour flavor. The crumble topping was way too much and left a half inch thick layer of a texture that resembled sand. I will not make this recipe again.

I modified this recipe to first macerate the apples: a process where you let the apple filling sit for an hour and draw out the juices, then cook down and reduce the juice before adding it back in with the apples. The result is a nice caramel flavor and a denser filling that doesn't have that 'soupy' problem many pies have, and the bottom crust is not soggy. I also used a variety of locally grown fall apples, not just granny smiths, which gave a wonderfully complex flavor and texture. Delicious.

I used a roll out crust for this pie. I made 2 and the second one turned out beautifully. On the 1st one, I folded the crust upward like in the directions. However, the pie made so much juice that it is soupy outside of the crust. The 2nd one I made like a normal pie and put in a very deep pie plate. Turned out much better and prettier. Can't wait to take to pot luck at church!

This was very good. I had a little trouble with the pie crust however. Does anyone know if it should go over all of the filling or just a portion. I really didn't have enough dough for it to stretch completely over the topping. Thanks.

Is it alright to make the pie a couple days before? does it have to be served just 6hrs later?

All I can say is: wow. This pie is excellent, when made correctly. Just read the instructions carefully. Note that the flour is divided between the crumb and the filling, something I didn't notice until after I made the crumbs (left with a bowl full of floury topping, serves me right).

I loooved this pie! The ingredients are so easy and the result was so fabulous! All 10 people that tried it when I made it loved it!

simply fabulous apple pie! I copied mcbra's suggestion and replaced the raisins with walnuts to a scrumptious result. Also found out that this recipe makes enough filling for 2 pies when you use store-bought crusts.

Hola, me parece que est?

This was by far the easiest apple pie ever! I used a lattice top and sprinkled with crumb topping to cut back on some of the sweetness worked perfect and was gorgeous!

I discovered this recipe while searching for fall and thanksgiving dessert recipes. I've never made my own pie before yet when I made this one, it was a sure hit with my family! I added walnuts to the recipe for some added crunch and yummy goodnessI have been getting many requests for it so I made it again for Christmas this time! I served it warm, fresh out of the oven topped with whipped cream and Haagen Dasz butter pecan and cinnamon dulce de leche ice cream! So utterly scrumptious!

I made this pie for Thanksgiving and it was terrific. The combo of the tart Granny Smith apples and the sweet topping and raisins makes this so yummy. I've already had requests to make it again. Highly recommended!

recipe's a winner

I've made this pie a few times and it's always a hit with everyone. They all loved it!

I too made this for T-giving this year. I like regular crust, the husband likes crumb.
Perfect compromise, and everyone loved it.Also, I can't seem to get the knack of pie crust, so I just used pre-made. Rolled the two in the package together to get the right thickness and circumfrence. Worked perfectly.

Delicious filling. Beautiful crumb topping. Unfortunately, the bottom crust didn't turn out. Don't know if it was the recipe or me trying to cook too many things in one day! I'll give the crust another try before I forget it.

I also made this pie for Thanksgiving 07. At first, I thought the apples were going to overflow, but they all cooked down quite nicely. I totally agree with CupofTea about the baking halfway through then the crumb

Absolutely delicious! Made this for thanksgiving 07 and it is probably the best pie I have ever made. Great idea to add the topping half way through baking. That way the filling gets a chance to dry out a little (does not become soupy as past pies have) then moistens up again after the crumble topping has been added.

This was the first pie I ever made! And it turned out AWESOME! I made in a couple wks back as a trial run for T-giving. I made with "Our Favoriate Pie Crust" also on this site. I ommited the raisins. When I make for T-giving I may cut back a little on the sugar, it was a bit too sweet. But overall a great pie with fantastic crumb topping.

this apple crumble pie looks absolutely amazing and I just think I might have to make one, well actually what would be cool, is to make individual oes for a small dinner party, that way eveyrone gets a pie with either ice-cream or cream, and if you have visitors that are anything like my husband, they will want both ice-cream and cream on their pie.

Is looks sooooo delicious!!!!

All that's missing is the vanilla ice cream on top.... sounds scrumptious!!!
