I made this pie for Christmas and it got all thumbs up! Thank you for sharing such a delicious recipe — even my former chef husband was very complimentary!

With the remaining apples that didn’t fit into the pie, I heated in the microwave until soft, cooled, and put into the food processor — amazing applesauce!

I was introduced to your website by a friend of my daughter’s. My granddaughter is allergic to eggs, milk, nuts, seafood and other fish. Your recipes sound and look delicious. I’m actually going to make your red velvet cake for our Chritsmas dinner dessert this year. My granddaughter has had these allergies since birth and we’ve had a couple of close (scarry) calls requiring paramedic assistance. It’s a wonderful thing to find things she can eat and enjoy without worry. It’s funny how you change your whole way of thinking when shopping when you have a family member with these types of issues. I have special cards to take with me to the grocery store, that identify words that may desguise milk and egg words. It’s been a real education over the years. I just get so excited when she is able to eat something new that a lot of us have had the luxury to take for granted.

Made this pie for Thanksgiving (so my daughter could have a dessert to enjoy with the rest of us) and everyone loved it!! I had so many requests for the recipe and they couldn’t believe it was allergy free!! My daughter loved helping me mix the apples with sugar (using her bare hands)!! Thanks again! I know i’ll be making this pie many more times this year!!

Hi. This sounds great, but my son has a soy allergy. Do you think I can substitute butter (we’re ok with dairy) for the Crisco shortening without affecting the taste/texture?

Thanks Dana! I didn’t include the word egg, only because eggs aren’t normally a pie ingredient (unless it is a custard type pie) but you’re right, it is better to note that. I made the change and included the word Egg in the post header. Thanks!

Kelly,

Usually your recipe titles say “dairy, egg and nut free” but this would doesn’t include the word egg. I don’t see any egg-items in the recipe itself but wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something.

Thanks,
Dana
