By á-1336

Everything about this dessert makes it the top request for family gatherings and one of our favorite apple pie recipes. The delightful crust cuts beautifully to reveal a filling with pieces of diced apple. At harvest time or any time, you cannot beat this delectable apple pie. —Brenda DuFresne, Midland, Michigan
