Real Deal Apple Pie
Everyone should know how to make apple pie in the classic style—the real deal. This recipe is a perfect example of why this American icon has been a hit in this country for hundreds of years. It gets its stunning height from 3 pounds of apples. So stock up; you'll need them. —Margo Ferrick, Westford, Massachusetts

This recipe was very easy and delicious. I used store bought refrigerated pie crust, but followed the recipe after that. The apples were done, the filling was not runny, and it was spiced just right. I would recommend this recipe.
This is the first time I've ever made an apple pie. It came out great. I did deviate from the recipe and used Gala apples instead of Braeburn & Granny Smith. I did have a lot of difficultly with the crust and had to add a significant more amount of water to get it to form into a ball. I did manage to make it work though and it came out great. The whole family loved it. I will definitely make this again though at some point I might use a different crust recipe with it if I find one that works better.

Triple AAA - Awesome!
I have made this pie over a dozen times and it always turns out great. I use Jazz apples instead of Braeburn and I also allow the apples to sit in a strainer over a bowl for a few hours to release as much liquid as possible, this way you do not end up with the air pocket at the top of the pie. I then use the released liquid in the pie crust.Great recipe!
I made this pie exactly as the recipe stated. The filling was bitter and needed more sugar and some of the apples turned mushy. The crust turned out fine. I will not make this recipe again.
