Great and easy-to-make apple dessert! I made 2 servings and baked for 40 minutes in a 2-cup casserole dish. Topped as you suggested with vanilla ice cream (lowfat) and enjoyed a wonderful dessert - thanks for sharing the recipe!

Wanted something to use up some of our apple harvest and this reminded me of one my Grandmothe used to make. It was wonderful, so easy to put together and tasted so good served with vanilla icecream and topped with a little whipped cream. A great fall flavor that was enjoyed by all. I wouldn't change a thing.

Wow Bayhill, this is a winner. My dh was in heaven as he ate this treat. It was perfectly balance, sweet and comforting. This quick and easy to make dish is a lovely change from the regular crisps. Thanks for sharing a recipe that i will make again. Made for Fall Pac 2011.
