Got good reviews from my critics. Think I may have used a little too much salt in the topping.

Delish! I left the skin on the apples for extra fibre, and they went down a treat at a local community gathering. Very easy to make. Top recipe!! Could likely substitute the sugar for a sugar alternative for those watching the calories.

I baked it for 40 minutes. Didn’t bubble around edges as recipe said, but I took it out finally because apples were drying out. Perhaps I didn’t put enough lemon juice? I used Granny Smith apples. I’ll use a juicer apple next time.I was very easy and I loved the video instructions.

Great recipe. Made this and it turned out very good. The instructions and measurements are precise. The only thing is that this is too sweet for me, personally. So next time i will probably halve the sugar and maybe add one more apple.
But i'll definitely be making this again. 👍🏼
