American Apple Pie

These baked potatoes are perfect for me to eat as a vegetarian main dish with a salad, but you can also serve them as a side dish for steak or pork chops.

Good flavor but too runny, and too many apples. This was a new recipe I tried, and probably won’t make it again. Very dissappointed in the outcome.

hi did not make any changes to the recipes but i loved it

Easy

Even though I added more flour than was recommended, the sauce was very thin and soupy. The apples, unless they were very thinly sliced, were crisp-tender. I think I need to cook the apples and create the sauce before filling the pie.

I love this recipe! I’ve been using it for years and it was a wonderful starter recipe for me when I first began baking. I like to add a few more apples (letting them soak in lemon juice for a while) and add extra cinnamon as well. I also like to make my own simple pie crust and try new ways to lay the crust for fun!

This is my first time ever making an apple pie. So I looked for a little help on just what to do and just how to do it. So after a long search I ran across this Recipe and then thought I would have to give it a try. I didn’t have any lemon juice or lemons to make juice with so I left it out. I used Granny Smith apples and did a twist and used garden fresh strawberries In it so it gave it a Great taste between the apples and the strawberries. The only thing that I would change is to use more flour in the mixture. It turned out great!!!!

My husband loves this pie. I added a few dabs of butter to the apple mixture before baking and it turned out amazing!

I tweaked it just a little as one of my guests is a diabetic. I used Truvia instead of sugar and used the Truvia brown sugar blend (25%) sugar to replace the brown sugar. Everyone who ate it loved it.

We loved this recipe!

I just left out the raisins

This made a decent pie, but be very careful with the recommended cooking time and temperature. At 425 degrees, after 25 minutes the top crust was dark brown and starting to burn around the edges, and the filling and bottom crust were nowhere near done. Was able to rescue it by taking it out of the oven, letting it cool down, wrapping the top in foil, and then putting it back in to finish on a lower temperature. If I do it again, I’ll cook it at 350 the whole way through.

It is perfect in its simplicity. Soaking raisins in rum adds some more flavor to the filling.

Prefer more cinnamon and sugar, and NO raisins. Maybe because when growing up the only two pies my Mom ever made were pumpkin and raisin. It’s a very pretty pie, and I notice a lot of folks loved it. I’m just not into the raisins in it.
Ryan Charles
This pie is delicious and hit a home run with my hubby. It’s easy to make and easy to eat. :-).
Michele Jones
Delicious! We used 1/2t cinnamon. I would like to try soaking the raisins in apple cider/juice in the future!
Kevin Chavez
the recipe is very good
Grant Anderson
I was wondering whether or not my wife and I would enjoy the raisins. We both thought that they worked pretty well. Just to make it work, size-wise, I used a little over 6 cups of apples, 1/2 cup of raisins, but kept the spice mixture the same as the recipe. The filling was great!
Veronica Smith
My fiance makes this recipe and it is the best. Love it no need to change a thing.
Joseph Woods
Wonderful pie! Not sure how people give it a low rating for raisins, American Apple pies HAVE them in it!!! If you want one without then just make Apple pie, very easy. I did add some corn starch to make the inside thicker. Then I added more cinnamon, added clove & nutmeg. Then a little butter before I put the top crust on. & I did not cute back on the apples, I think it is a perfect amount. Baked at 375 tho for 50 mins or so.
Samuel Reed
Everyone loved this recipe. I made one pie with only gala apples, and the other with granny smith. I also made one with three different kinds of apples. They all turnded out good. It all depends on your taste buds.
Julie Walker
I enjoyed making this pie as well as eating it! It states that the baking time is 35-40 minutes, however my pie was ready in 25 minutes so check on your pie often because ovens vary. I also minimized the number of cups of apples to 4 because I didn’t want the pie to overflow with apples.
