Reviews
Tasted great and easy to make. I used red delicious apples and had a flood of liquid at the bottom of my pie even with a lattice top for venting.
This was my very FIRST pie! It was easy to make (even for a newbie) and it is delicious! This is a VERY sweet apple pie! I loved that the filling was made from scratch. Like the previous reviewer, I didn’t have any almond extract, so I used vanilla extract. The next time I make this recipe (and you better believe there will be a next time) I will sprinkle the almonds over the filling instead of mixing them in – cutting down on some of the crunch. HAPPY PI DAY! Thanks for the recipe, this one is a keeper!
Really quick and easy to throw together with pantry ingredients! 🙂 I had to substitute vanilla for the almond extract as I was out, but was still delicious!
