This was a pretty good recipe. The crust was quite hard to cut through, though. And definitely use the cookie sheet underneath, because something leaked out during the baking time. But overall, we enjoyed the dessert. - 12 Nov 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I love this recipe. I started using it a few years ago and I always get great comments on it. The only thing I change is more vanilla in the crust. I like sweet crust. - 22 Nov 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
this is a great base recipe to play with and tweak. I love adding fresh lightly sweetened cranberries to the apples, and making small amount of extra dry/extra sweet crust and crumble over top. Yum. - 24 Oct 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
