I omitted the salt and cut the recipe in half. I really loved it! I didn't use a measuring spoon for the vanilla and may have used a bit much b/c I could really taste it but that's more user failure than a recipe fault most likely. Great way to get a warm breakfast and use all the fall apples!

If this recipe were a man, I'd marry it.
