Everyone raved about it," says reviewer BUONICONTO. 03 of 16 Sour Cream Apple Pie Deluxe View Recipe Jennifer DeVault What sets this pie apart is that the apples are coated in sour cream before being added to the pie and baked.

"I could quite possibly be in dessert heaven right now. This is one of the best apple pies I've tried in some time. The crumb topping is light and 'crumbly' just as it's supposed to be. Not only is this one of the better recipes I've tried, but it's also one of the easiest with no top crust," says home cook naples34102. 05 of 16 Dutch Apple Pie with Oatmeal Streusel View Recipe shobart83 A Dutch apple pie already includes a streusel layer, but this pie is made even better with the addition of oats and lemon to the streusel topping.

Best apple pie I have ever had" says reviewer CARTOONRCKR. 07 of 16 Chef John's Caramel Apple Pie View Recipe Sarah Teeter Chef John pours a butter and sugar mixture over the entire pie before baking it so the pie caramelizes while it bakes.

A true classic." And the solid 5-star rating says she's right.

It's loaded with cinnamon, but if you want more spicy flavors, you can add nutmeg and cloves. 14 of 16 No-Sugar Apple Pie View Recipe chibi chef This five-ingredient apple pie has no added sugars and is naturally sweetened with the apples. But you won't even miss the sugar. "I was very skeptical in making this pie at first. I was sure it was going to be too sour because of the lack of sugar. But it is amazing how wrong I was! My mom, who usually always wants things extra sweet, said that it was the perfect pie," says reviewer Mariam. 15 of 16 Apple Slab Pie View Recipe Slab pie is the perfect pie for feeding a crowd since it's made in a 10x15-inch pan.
