Notes: My Grandma Carol taught my mom to make make this. In Grandma’s original recipe, she made her own crust. What I like most about this pie is that since there are so many apples in it, the pie is very high. Her secret was the combination of apples she used. She would mix sweet apples like, Braeburn, Fiji, Rome and Empire with tart ones like Macoun and Granny Smith. In her recipe, she advised to stay away from Cortland and McIntosh because they get too mushy.
