I have been making this pie for years. Today I tried it with a store bought crust and it was still very good. The topping is perfect with the apples.
It is so easy to put together. In no time you will be eating a piece, maybe 2 of this delicious pie. No changes to recipe except using store bought deep dish pie crust.

I found this recipe in a magazine more years ago than I can remember, 25-30 years maybe. The only thing I do different is I do not use Granny Smith apples as they are too tart for us. I use either just Jonathan or a mix of Jonathan and Macintosh (or Jonathan and Winesap). I also found the baking time is not correct. It takes longer than stated. I start at 400°F for 25-30 minutes with foil loosely over the top then reduce heat to 350°F removing the foil. If using a top pie crust instead of strudel toppling the flour in the apple mixture needs to be increased. I get rave reviews for my apple pie!

I totally agree! I baked this pie yesterday to serve to friends last night. The taste is fabulous, but the cooking time is incorrect. My pie had great taste, but was runny and the crust wasn't done. We determined the cooking time was not correct. Bake at 400°F for 45-60 minutes. Cover pie with foil after first 30 minutes to avoid excessive browning.
