I've made this apple pie several times and it's always a hit! The crust is flaky and the filling is delicious. I love that it's not too sweet, and the apples still have a bit of a bite to them.

I thought this apple pie was just okay. The crust was a bit dry and the filling was a little too sweet for my taste.

This apple pie was a disappointment. The crust was tough and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This apple pie recipe has become a staple in my kitchen! The crust is so flaky and buttery, and the apples are perfectly tender and flavorful. I love the addition of cinnamon and nutmeg, which give the pie a warm and inviting aroma.
