I made this for a Thanksgiving dinner and it was delicious! This was my first attempt at making a pie and it was way easier than I thought. I used the premade Marie Calendar's pie crust and used vegan butter and an oil/water wash instead of the egg wash to make it vegan (Marie Calendar's pie crust is vegan as well). I ended up using 3 apples and 2 large pears and I had about half a cup of filling left over. Once everything is peeled and chopped mixing it all up was super easy. I think next time I'll try a crumble on top instead of the pie crust lattice.

This was really easy and tastes great! I bought the pie crusts. I used 2 Bosc pears and 4-5 small Gala apples, for about 6 cups total. I added 1/4 tsp allspice. I covered the top with tinfoil the last 10 minutes of baking, as recommended, as it was starting to burn. Next time I will cut the sugar back to 3/4 C. Thanks for the recipe!
All the old-timers say use Granny Smith apples, due to texture and water content. If you're using what you have, and/or know that it will be too liquid, sift corn starch (1-3 Tablespoons) or add minute Tapioca, to gel. Berry pie recipes call for 3 Tbsp of either. Every pie seems to come out different. This looks like the perfect/traditional apple pie recipe. But in consideration of everyone's health, less than a cup of sugar is wise. And avoid crumb toppings on anything, as it is nearly pure sugar. You don't need it! Serve the pie warm and put a scoopful of vanilla ice cream (or coconut) instead. The whole country is becoming Diabetic because we don't watch our sugar intake. Plus, the lattice looks so great- truly traditional. The all-American looking pie.
I followed the recipe to the letter except I added more butter. It looks great, I’ll update when I cut into it.
