what is ur best apple pie recipe. my last attempt failed horribly but i really wanna make one for DH this thanksgiving. TIA

i'm glad you posted this! i want to make one to take to washington with me for db!

Do you want crust and filling recipes or just filling?
My apple pie filling is this:
5-7 apples peeled and sliced or cut in small chunks(I use a mix of granny smith and gala because I like the variance in their textures and flavors)
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
a dash of ground cloves
1 Tbs lemon juice - I leave this out if the granny smiths are very tart
2 Tbs flour
3 Tbs butter cut into small chunks

Mix all but butter together.

Place bottom crust (I make my own and would gladly share the recipe if you want it) in pan.

Pour filling into crust, top with chunks of butter and top crust.

Seal crust, cut vents/decorative holes and bake at 400 for 40-60 minutes.

If your crust becomes too brown before the pie is done use foil around the edges to protect from further browning.

Here's the thing - I do not eat pie. *I* have no personal experience in eating this pie but have received rave reviews and many requests to bring this when we are going somewhere for a pitch-in dinner.

what is top crust...like, can you buy that in a store?

and thanks for the recipe...it sounds amazing and i will try it!
