German Apple Pie
I live in a big apple-producing state, so I think this recipe represents our region well. I tasted this pie many years ago when my children's babysitter made it. I asked for the recipe and have made it many times since.

- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

I might not eat alot of pies, but this is one of the best pies I have ever tasted in my entire life
I don't like many fruit pies, but I love this pie. This has become my families favorite apple pie.
great taste
This is the easiest apple pie I have ever made, fabulous each time, very moist. Never fail recipe
Creamy and delicious! I was a little unsure about this but it is my husband's favorite apple pie now!
This pie was creamy and very tasty. Don't fill too full or it will bubble over and cream will burn on edges of crust.

Oh boy, this is GOOD! Used my own pie crust: 1 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/3 cup shortening, 1 Tablespoon cider vinegar (mixed with the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract) and 1-2 Tablespoons cold water. ( The liquid amount changes with the weather and today I didn't need any water at all. Once I add the vinegar mixture I mix it with a fork then add additional water only if it doesn't hold together.) After that I followed the recipe exactly (took only 3 apples to make 6 cups) and baked it an additional 5 minutes - 10 at 400° and 65 at 350°. Perfect!
