    Really delicious pie, just sweet enough when made with mostly Granny Smiths + 1 Fuji. Despite pricking, the pastry puffed up when blind baked and crumbled some when tamped down; some apple juices leaked underneath when the pie baked, making some slices hard to remove. My apples macerated 1.5 hrs and did not yield 2/3 c liquid; still just cooked down to 1/3 c. The huge mound of apples looked like too much, but cooked down while baking and cooling. Based on others' notes, I used 1.5 cups streusel and thought it was perfect. My streusel needed 5 extra minutes to brown.

    My family was a definite fan of this pie. The extra step of creating a caramel from the apple juices is pretty genius and makes the dish. See my notes for the streusel topping (you may want more) and the cream cheese pie crust (I had big problems with it) in this book before attempting those sub-recipes.

    This is an excellent apple pie, but this takes some time. Like her All American Apple Pie, you macerate the apples first. You then take the accumulated juice and boil it down with some butter to make a syrup that is mixed in with the apples. The crumb topping has walnuts in it and it forms just a thin topping. I would have liked just a bit more streusel on top, but it was still very good.
