Matthew Rodgers
My guests said it was the best apple pie that they ever had. I really liked it too.
Matthew Spencer Jr.
This was amazing! Excellent flavors. And went well with Macadamia vanilla ice-cream! Loved the taste using pecans! It was hard for my boyfriend to stop at 1 piece!
James Washington
Made this tonite and it was a great hit! The only thing was that it was tough to get it out of the pie plate in a proper triangle like a true pie.
Heather Rodriguez
I added about 1/8 C more sugar and about 1/2 Tea of cinnamon, these ingredients are an estimated guess I do not measure ingredients when I bake or cook. But I’ll rate this a 9.5 out of a 10. The apple pie I baked tonight really was delicious. LOL, only 45 minutes after I took the pie out of my oven my mom and I tore into it.
Tanya Allen
It wasn’t that good and o wish the apples had more sweetness to them. They were dry and tart.
James Thompson
I made this recipe for a family gathering, and I told them I “slaved all day in the kitchen to make this pie.”
Mary Newton
I melted the butter because the recipe was vague and I used pecans for the topping. It was an easy dessert. I believe that 325 degrees may be too low. It took more than an hour to completely cook. Judge what is best for your own oven… Thank you.

Takes MUCH longer to cook at 325 ! Worked Best for us: at 350 full 55 minutes; and broil top 4-5 minutes. Watch it closely as If Uncooked it will be a soggy bottom mess! 🙁 We have also made it 🙂 gluten free baking mix with consistent results. Also: a Variety to bake & take use the 350 for 1 hr or so; by separating the ingredients into 2 normal cake pans ~ makes layering topping on both; then putting these together after cooling 10-15 minutes. Drizzle with powder sugar ; cream cheese or chocolate. Makes a Very Sticky Gooey Yummy breakfast & it is Not-too-sweet!!!! G free as easy

I think of this recipe as more of a type of apple crumble. Once we got past the lack of crust we loved it! We put frozen vanilla yogurt on the warm “pie” and it was amazing. Instead of adding nuts in the topping, I added 1/4 cup of quick oats. I sliced the apples fairly thin so they would cook in the 55 minutes.

Easy to make with pantry items that are usually on hand. I used Gluten Free Bisquick, and skipped the nuts since my husband doesn’t like nuts. Added a little extra of each of the ingredients since I decided to make two since I saw most posters indicated it overflowed. Used two 8.5 inch pie plates, which probably is why mine were a little flat, but they still tasted yummy.

Just made this and it was wonderful!! I did not have any Bisquick so I followed another post and made the Bisquick substitution. I did let it bake for an additional 15 minutes because it seemed a bit soggy. I was a little leary, making it for the first time, but it was wonderful!!
Stephanie Griffin
I have had the pie in the oven for over an hour. The apples are still hard and the crust is still soupy. Not sure what I have done wrong!
Nancy Miller
This pie recipe is, by far, the best apple pie recipe I have ever had/made. I like it better than my traditional apple pie. I recommend this pie for anyone, even you don’t like apple pie, you just might be surprised at this delicious this pie. As others have mentioned the directions are vague and seem incomplete at the beginning, but it isn’t hard to read between the lines.
Gina Reyes
This tastes really tasty, and is quite easy to make. (I omitted the nuts, nutmeg, and cinnamon.)
Crystal Johnson
Great apple dessert, really easy recipe! It ended up coming out more like a cobbler in a pie pan than a pie. It still tasted great, but if your looking for a classic apple pie, this recipe probably isn’t what you’re looking for.
Julie Hernandez
I’ve made this for about 5 years now. I love it. It’s easy to make and with vanilla ice cream it’s the best. The original recipe is on Betty Crocker and they have a video. The nutty crust is so good and you can add peaches or other fruits. I use granny smith apples and it turns out delicious.
Nicole Nguyen
I followed the recipe to the letter – the apple filling and topping were good but the crust was horrible.
Rachael Garner
This pie doesn’t really come out like a pie. It is more like an apple bread pudding or something along that line. The ingredients made enough to fill one 9″ pie dish and one of my 6″ pie dishes. The presentation is so-so but the flavor is good. I will continue to look for a better french apple pie recipe.
Mark Ryan
Umm . .WOW. So simple – so yummy . . and the house smells great! I left the nuts off all together – and because of some of the comments here – baked at 350 for the 55 minutes. . . .Turned out GREAT – and no mess with rolling out a pie crust! Made this with 5 of our fireside apples we got from the orchard last weekend. Will totally do this again!
Victor Robinson
Adding a little rum to this recipe really improves the flavor!
Valerie Mullins
Delicious! Very easy recipe, just made this tonight and everyone loved it! I will definitely be making this again. Tastes wonderful and smells amazing also!!
