We did not add the 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and cut back on the butter in the topping to 8 tablespoons. we cut back on the white sugar in the topping to 4 tablespoons, and it was still great! I think I will do more sugar next time, and a small sprinkle of salt in the topping, as it seemed to need it. We served it with half & half on top, sooo good, I will make this again and again. Don't be afraid to cut the butter some, if you are watching your diet like us!

Absolutely wonderful - didn't change a thing. DH is a very picky eater and he loved it. Was even better the next day!<br/><br/>Update 7/22/2012 I make this so often now that I can almost do it with my eyes closed. All the grown kids request it! Never can make one pan anymore! I really don't think you can mess this recipe up! Since I make it so much now, I hardly measure anything! Have added nuts, have used blueberries, apples and peaches. Have some fresh picked huckleberries, guess how I'm gonna use them!!!!

I made this last night and it was perfect. Crisp on the top and juicy in the middle. I would like to note it was too sweet because the grocery store ONLY had sweet apples. Definitely use the tart apples the recipe calls for. Also, the recipe doesn't give directions on what to do to the apples. I peeled, cored and cut into 16 wedges. Thanks for the great recipe!

This was awesome! I had a bunch of apples that I had just picked, so they were sweet - I cut back on the white sugar by about 2-3 T total and it was still great. I also skipped drizzling the apples themselves in butter to save some cals. I only used three apples because the ones I had were huge. Fabulous. Thanks for the recipe!!!<br/><br/>Edit: I've made this about a dozen times since my first review. I always omit the butter over the apples and haven't ever missed it. I also usually take off 1T of white sugar from both the apples and topping. I add about three handfuls of finely chopped pecans to the topping and sometimes cut the butter by 1T in the topping. I also add a bit of nutmeg. I just reread the other reviews and I agree that it could use a few more T of oatmeal as well.<br/><br/>Great recipe. Every time I make it for company I get compliments, especially when served with french vanilla ice cream.

Does this recipe need one more glowing review? You betcha! I was worried that the 12 tablespoons of butter might be too much, especially as it was baking and looking a bit too buttery. Those were needless fears--ended up looking as good as it tasted. I followed directions as written, and it turned out just right. Everyone enjoyed this one--thanks, cuisinebymae!
