1. I see a lot of comments about adding caramel but it's not in the recipe. Can someone help me out here?

2. Why do I not see anything about toasted pecans in the directions for the crumb topping?

4. This recipe is listed under make ahead recipes. Where is the info on how far you can make ahead and storage and re-heating?

1. I have to give this recipe 5 stars because I made it for the first time yesterday, entered the pie in our local Park District's Pie Contest and won the 'Best Tasting Pie' award! That says alot about the recipe because I am not a very experienced pie maker at all. For future reference, it took 4 large Granny Smith apples to get my 6 cups of sliced apples for the recipe. I peeled and cored the apples and cut them into 12 slices each. Thanks for the great recipe.

2. The BEST ever apple pie! I was going to post this same recipe, but I first did a search to see if it were posted yet. My neighbor, Jill, brought this pie to us when a friennd of my husbands and his family were killed in a car accident. My husband kept asking me everyday for about a week to get the recipe from Jill. I finally got it and it's the ONLY apple pie recipe I use! I also use Granny Smith apples and I peel and slice them very thin. I use only about 4 - 4 1/2 cups of sliced apples and it works perfect for a normal size 9-inch pastry.

3. I always considered myself a good cook, but not a great baker until I made this pie! It is absolutely perfect!!! It is the first pie that I made that actually was totally devoured. Since I don't bake that much I did use Pillsbury's Pie Crust and baked it for 5 minutes in a 350 degree oven first and used MacIntosh apples instead of Granny Smith because we just went apple picking with the kids and had a ton :). Other than that, the only other thing I used differently was instead of regular cinnamon I used Pampered Chef's Cinnamon Plus (lots of parties I went to :)) and sprinkled some on top of the crumb topping before baking as well. Anyone who loves pecan pie would also love this recipe. So many people thought that it was a pecan pie with apples because of the consistency. The only other note I would mention is that you should completely cool the pie before cutting. My husband couldn't wait to get into it while it was still warm and it oozed out a bit, but the cooled pie was absolute perfection. Great Recipe Wendy...10 stars!!!

4. I made this for my mother who is down to her last few weeks left to live. She doesn't have much appetite, but is eating this 2 to 3X a day now (and not much of anything else)! Thanks for posting a great recipe. This is one that I make often and will always remember w/a smile thinking of mom....

5. I am a *STAR* when I make this recipe! Love it-- you CANNOT skip the caramel and the pecans, they simply makes this pie a winner and it looks gourmet when it's all done! This pie is mounded HIGH when it goes in the oven and the shell is jam packed so put it on a cookie sheet or you'll be smelling burned sugar all over your oven. I use frozen pie crust in the tin and I pre-bake for 8 minutes until lightly golden brown otherwise it gets mushy. LOVE IT. The only apple pie I bake!

1. This is the only apple pie I make!! It's amazing!<br/><br/>I just transitioned over to gluten-free and substituted the oats for slivered almonds and left out the pecans. If you're gf and able to tolerate gf oats- it'd taste exactly the same. I got a gf pie crust recipe from "You Won't Believe It's Gluten Free" by Roben Ryberg and the dough looks pretty promising.

2. This pie is just wonderful...everyone loves it. The only changes I made were to use brown sugar instead of white sugar and add some of my homemade vanilla to both the filling and the topping...thank you Wendy =)

3. Wonderful! I made a few adjustments to make it GLUTEN FREE: I used a purchased gluten free pie crust (Whole Foods), subbed 1.5 Tbs cornstarch for the flour in the filling and used potato flour instead of wheat flour for the topping. Perfect! One other tip: if you put the foil around the edges BEFORE you put the filling in the pie shell, it's a lot easier and less messy.

4. This recipe certainly doesn't need another review, but I just couldn't resist! This was AMAZING!!! Probably the best apple pie I have ever tasted. I used a frozen pie crust, about 6-7 small/medium Granny Smith apples (cut thick and peeled), and walnuts instead of pecans. Everything else the same. It came out perfect...thanks for posting!!

5. This is wonderful! I thought I already had a great caramel apple pie but this beats it. Substituting walnuts for pecans was the only change I made. Thanks for a great pie!
