Oh yeah, this is definitely a keeper. We really enjoyed this wonderful dish. It was so easy to prepare too, which is nice for those busy evenings when you don't have a lot of time to fuss with dinner. With all the wonderful fall apples coming in from the farm area of eastern Washington state this time of year, I can imagine making this dish several times a month throughout the fall and winter. I would like to try some other apple varieties too, because I can think of several that would be excellent in a recipe like this. Thank you for sharing your recipe, Tallie in Pacific NW.
