I made this dessert tonight and followed the recipe almost exactly but I did change out the walnuts for pecans. Other than that, I made no other changes. Keep in mind that this is not a cake or cobbler but just apples with lots of streusel. We ate it warm from the oven with vanilla ice cream. Delicious!
