The last 2 times I didn&#39;t even bother making the topping, it is just as delicious without it.  I use 4 large Gala apples &amp; might sneak in a 5th the next time I make it.  It freezes well, so it&#39;s a great pie to make in advance.  I also substitute lemon juice for the lime &amp; only use about a tablespoon.  Another reviewer stated you need to cook the apples before adding them to the pie.
