The yummiest, easiest pie in the world! I used a premade crust and it took me all of 15 minutes start to finish. I love the crumb topping so the second time around I used a full cup of flour, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1 1/4 sticks of butter. We LOVE this pie!

This recipe is the best! The lemon juice makes the pie taste nice and tart. Which balances the crumb topping with the filling of the pie

I used this recipe for Thanksgiving this year (2009). I altered it a bit. I added a bit of corn starch to the apple mixture, I tossed 1/4 cup toasted pecans on top of the apples and I add about 1/2 cup of toasted pecans to the flour and butter in the food processor. This turned into very fine pecan crumbles. After the traditional meal usually the pie is not the star. But this pie, warmed and served with cinnamon ice cream, got RAVE reviews. As a matter of fact one guest walked out and took the rest of the pie saying it was the best apple pie he had EVER tasted. Thanks Cooks.com for making me a hit this year.
