"We have four very productive apple trees in our backyard, so I make a lot of recipes that call for apples. Even then, we'll often end up giving bushels of them away. This apple dessert is one of my family's favorites. If you're serving a larger group, I've found that it goes a little further when cut into squares rather than slices like a traditional apple pie."

Wonderful dessert!!!!!I would add more cinnamon next time, as my family likes the spice..... Other than that NO changes needed!

The crust is flakey and tender. The filling is perfect, and does not make the crust soggy. It freezes well. I cut the whole thing into four, wrapped the rectangles well, and froze flat in the freezer. They were amazing frsh as well as after having been frozen. They look gorgeous on a platter!

Re: Extra ApplesWe go apple picking every fall and also get them whenever they are on sale. My daughter makes sugar free applesauce and low sugar apple butter. My grandkids can't get enough of it. Also in the fall there is a pumpkin farm that has a weekend where you can get a carfull for next to nothing. After displaying them for Halloween she makes pumpkin butter (also low sugar). My grandson loves to have it on hes pancakes and waffles! We can all of the above so it keeps a long time and doesn't take up freezer space.quiltsme

Very delicious!! The crust was as wonderful as my other homemade pie crust recipe. We also served it warmed with vanilla ice cream.

We made this and loved it. It wasn't too sweet but was just right.

The taste was great, but I left out the salt in the recipe, can't have it. It doesn't change the taste in most foods and we lower the cholesteral too. Rjw
