In response to this recipe taking too long: Use a standard apple peeler-corer. You can prepare 8 apples in 15 minute or less. Use a prepared pie crust. Yes, they do taste like home made.

This was absolutely delicious! I made this for my husband's birthday since he loves pie better than cake! This was my first time ever making a pie but everything turned out perfect. However, this took me an unbelieveable amount of time! I was exhausted. There must be some better way to get cored and peeled apples! I'd like to eat it again but not sure if I'd make it again as it was to labor intensive and time consuming. The start-to-finsh time I marked includes homemade pie crust which wasn't as hard as I'd thought it would be. Good job to those who make apple pies regularly! :-)
