Apple Pie III

By Addie

I remember coming home sullen one day because we'd lost a softball game. Grandma, in her wisdom, suggested, "Maybe a slice of hot apple pie will make you feel better." One bite...and Grandma was right.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 6-7 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 egg white
• Additional sugar

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the sugars, flour and spices; set aside. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Add sugar mixture; toss to coat.

Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom crust; trim pastry even with edge. Fill with apple mixture; dot with butter. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut slits in pastry.

Beat egg white until foamy; brush over pastry. Sprinkle with sugar. Cover edges loosely with foil.

Bake at 375° for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake 20-25 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 8 servings.

REVIEWS:

Instead of all tart apples I used Granny Smith, Braeburn and Fuji apples and increassed the cinnamon to 1 1/2 teaspoons. It turned out fantastic!

I lost my Mom's recipe and tried this one. It was easy to make and had great flavor. My fiance went back for a second serving so I know it was good!

I made this at the spur of the moment for company today. I had the pie prepared and in the oven in less than an hour. I used the silicone pie crust protector that I got from the Shop Taste of Home web site & it worked great! My pie turned out perfect and the only thing I will change next time is I will bake it just a tad longer or maybe at a slightly higher temperature as I am at a high altitude. This turned out great family loved it and like another person I forgot the butter too. It was still great with out it. Would be really good with homemade whip cream.

I get asked for this recipe all the time!

I made the Apple Pie today. Came out ok. I read the other reviews several cooks said they added additional flour to thicken the mixture. I used granny smith apples so they don't produce a lot of juice so I didn't need the addition flour that is required in with more juicy apples. I did find the pie was a bit too sweet. My fault again I should have tasted my apples.

I maid this for my brother and sister in law but as I was putting it in the oven I realized that I forgot the butter. They said that it was the best apple pie that they ever had.(I still think that it could have used the butter:)

I add some oatmeal to absorb some of the juice.

So good and so easy. My husband loves it so It is definitely a keeper. I used green apples since that was what I had on hand and they were delicious.

Truly delicious. I've now found my favorite pie recipe.

I also use the additional 3 Tablespoons of flour. I also normally use two or three different kinds of apples. This is by far our favorite recipe!

Very good!! First apple pie I made..definitely will make again!

This is the first apple pie I have made and it got rave reviews. I went by the recipe using 7 cups of apples. I used half Gala and half Braeburn and sliced them pretty thin. I found the pie to be a good consistency, not runny at all, even after cutting, the filling does not run out in the empty area.

Made only one of these pies for Thanksgiving. I cut it into tiny slices so that none would be wasted by my grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Only those who were at my house first got any! My son who does not care for sweets ate about half of the pie. His son who does not like apple pie ate two slices of it and loved it. The rest of us got a sliver of it and wanted more!! I made it with Splenda in place of the sugar as my husband and I are diabetic. Needless to say, I am making at least three or four of these pies for Christmas. I am sure there will be none left over!!

Made this recipe today to take to friends' for dinner. She's diabetic so swapped out the sugars for Splendas & added 5 T. of flour - got 2 thumbs up!!! It set up beautifully! Everyone loved it (better than my mom's & i didn't think that was possible!!). Definitely a keeper!!

This pie filling is the best I have ever had....and I didn't use a regular pie crust...I used the pie crust from the Dutch Apple Pie recipe...to die for!!!!

This is the first Applie Pie I have ever made, and I recieved many compliments from it. I did additional flour as the reviews had said. One family member actually said that it tasted just like Grandma's pies used to..that was the best compliment anyone could give me! I will definiteley make it again!

I never made an apple pie before so this was my first attempt. Everybody loved it! In fact, I've made this 4 times in just 2 weeks.

I made this recipe for the first time on Thanksgiving this year. I had read through the reviews and I added 3 tbs of flour to the dry mix. After tossing the apples there was still some mixture left in the bowl, which I proceeded to sprinkle evenly over the apples before placing top crust. It came out great. It was my first time making apple pie myself and this was as easy as can be. I will definitely make this one again. I did not find it too sweet at all, but I will try different apples with it as the Granny Smiths I used were really tart. The sweetness is a matter of taste. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Way too watery.

This was a great recipe and really easy to make! I used granny smith apples. It was a little sweet but by reading other reviews, maybe I will add a little more flour next time. Yum!

All in all, it's a good pie. The 5 stars deceived me though. It's way, way, way too runny. I should have read the reviews in addition checking the star rating. So if you're getting ready to bake this pie, do NOT dump the coated apples onto the pie crust under any circumstances (unless you like apple pie soup).

I recently went to an apple festival in NC. I had never made a pie before, any pie, and wanted to give it a try. I used honey crisp apples from Grandads Farm and a pie crust recipe from this site. I carefully followed all directions. Absolutely wonderful!

Loved it and so did everyone that tried it. Great! Thank you!

Wonderful pie, its the only recipe I'll use from now on.

Made this tonight and the flavour is amazing. I did add extra flour to thicken as well (will probably add more next time perhaps an extra 2T) Also added a couple of sprinkles of watkins apple pie spice. Kids probably would have eaten it all if I had let them. I may reduce the sugar a tad next time but still enjoyed just the same.

I just made this apple pie today and it came out wonderful! That's saying a lot because I am not a big fan of apple pie. I added a tiny bit of clove because I like that flavor. Great recipe!

We loved the pie, after reading the reviews I did added 3 heafing tablespoons of flour to thicken the pie. Came out great I served the Apple Pie for dinner with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the top.

As a member of our local American Legion, I often donate baked goods to our monthly steak nights. What says America more than homemade apple pie! This recipe is super easy and delicious! Will definitely make again and again!

This pie is great! Everyone loves it, everytime. It isn't too sweet for me. To avoid it being runny, scoop the apples out of the bowl instead of dumping them into the crust. That way, any leftover mixture that didn't coat onto the apples will remain in the bowl. A+ Recipe!

I've never made a pie before, and I used this Apple Pie Recipe as my first attempt and it turned out Great! YUM! :)

Over and over and over. This is by far the best apple pie recipe I have found.

Very good recipe. Didn't last long at my house.

This is a great recipe! I added 8 cups of apples and 2 tbls of butter. Next time I would add 1/4 tsp of ground cloves to add a little zest to it. It came out soupy but I let it sit overnight and it was fine. I will be making this again for sure!

My favorite apple pie recipe. Sometimes I add a little pumpkin pie spice as well just to spice it up a notch.

It's awesome but my came out runny even though i followed directions exactly and let it cool for 2 hrs.

Family Favorite!

Very good recipe!! very easy to make and tasted wonderful! i also added some caramel syrup to it :) yummmmm

Love this recipe. I used ready made pie crust by Pillsbury. Other than that i stuck to the recipe. It was a big hit with my family. So easy!!

It is a tad bit sweet.. so when I make it next time I will cut down the sugar some. Otherwise it was fantastic!!

I decided to make it today after reading the reviews, but it was extremely sweet. I won't make it again.

This is sooo good!

Yum Yum! This pie was very easy to make and very delicious.

Perfect Apple Pie Recipe! This will stay in my recipe file forever.

Tasted just like apple pie should. YUMMY.

Wow!! So yummy. I added 1/2 tsp. of Apple Pie spice to the rest of the ingredients it was great. Thumbs up on this recipe.

This pie is very good classic apple pie!
