| This is a fantastic crust recipe. It's my go-to recipe for most pies. It comes out wonderfully - flavorful and flaky. Basically, it's a half-and-half recipe - half of the fat is butter and half is shortening, thus bringing together the best of both worlds. |
| This was a nice tasty pie. The brown sugar brought a nice flavor to it. The only problem I had was that I put a top crust on it and the apples cooked down a good bit and left a dome of empty pastry on the top. Otherwise, the recipe worked very well. |
| I made this for a work picnic and won a prize for best desert. Even the people who "don't usually like pies" loved it. |
| I'm not a big fan of coconut, but the flavors go very nicely together. This is a great recipe if you have a lot of sweet cherries as we do around here where sour cherries are harder to find. |
| I love this pie! It is tasty and very simple to make. It couldn't be much easier. My cousin and I were talking about making key lime pie once and he complained about how much trouble it was. Since this is the ONLY recipe I'd ever used to make key lime pie, I had no idea what he was talking about. I shared this recipe with him and now I think he's a convert. |
| I made this for Thanksgiving. The bourbon flavor was pretty strong and since I'm not a big fan of bourbon, I didn't like this one so much. The pie didn't disappear as fast as the Pumpkin pie and other pie we had that year, so I'd have to guess that the others at dinner weren't as excited by it either. |
| The maple in this one gives it a kick that you don't find in regular pumpkin pies. |
| This is a great pie recipe for the middle of winter when the only inexpensive fresh fruit on the shelves are apples and you're not really interested in making a regular apple pie. I think this pie is best when refrigerated, so I'd suggest planning to make it ahead of time. |
| Around here, we have a lot of Rainier Cherries in the summer. Usually, cherry pies are made with sour cherries, but this is a great recipe if all you have are sweets. |
| I think if I'd made this with a regular pastry topping instead of the crumb topping, I'd have been able to give it a 5 instead of a 4. I'm not so hot on cornmeal. Also, I don't usually keep tapioca around, so any recipe with tapioca in it has a strike against it from me. But otherwise, a great recipe. |
| This was a very good pie. I had to make it with regular blueberries instead of wild blueberries. It was a pretty basic blueberry pie - quite tasty though! |
