GRANDMA OPLE'S APPLE PIE
This is a recipe for apple pie that I got from allrecipes.com and it is THE BEST apple pie I have ever had. It is different that ordinary apple pie, the fresh apples are placed in the crust, covered in a lattice top and smothered in a decadent sauce. Whoever Grandma Ople is, I would really like to thank her for she sure knows how to make a mean apple pie!For my crust, I use a recipe for pie crust that includes vinegar and is found on this site.

HEALTHIER APPLE PIE BY GRANDMA OPLE
Apple pie is my favorite pie. I make it for holidays and just because sometimes too. I wanted to cut out some of the fat from the butter so I cut it down and eliminate the sugar. It makes it caramel and better for you.

APPLE PIE BY GRANDMA OPLE
Up until I made THIS apple pie, I had hated apple pies my entire life! It didn't matter if I bought them or made them; it didn't matter if they were Dutch or Crumb-crust or plain crust...I couldn't get past the overly sweet/cinnamony insipidness of the filling. However, things have now changed, forever. A friend begged me to make them an apple pie, and I found this recipe on a website where it had garnered 1,617 five star reviews! I read over 40 of the reviews and the version of the pie recipe that I'm posting is based on THEIR tweaking it. The original pie had too many calories for some and no seasonings: suggestions included cutting the syrup in 1/2, adding vanilla and some spices. It also included several helpful hints on adding the buttery caramel syrup. Please do yourself a favour: whether you adore apple pie or have always avoided it as I have, MAKE THIS PIE!!!! If you want to make it with the original recipe, here is the link: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Apple-Pie-by-Grandma-Ople/Detail.aspx?src=etaf. My many thanks and appreciation to the original poster, Moshamama.

Tips:
- Use a blend of tart and sweet apples for a balanced flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn. - Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough. - Use a sharp knife to cut the butter into the flour. This will help to create a flaky crust. - Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven. - Brush the crust with milk before baking. This will help to create a golden brown color. - Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. - Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will help the filling to set.Conclusion:
