 Laura Turley (Indiana) says:
This is my favorite apple pie recipe. Lots of good flavors with simple ingredients from pantry. I usually use a combine several types of apples: I used golden delicious, stayman winesaps and honey crisps for the one I baked this Thanksgiving. They goggled it up, so today I am baking another pie just for my family so we can have some.
