i'm not quite sure how to rate this recipe. the directions are excellent, cooking time is right on. when i tasted this warm there were distict flavors- tart apples, hot chiles, sweet custard. i refrigerated it overnight and tasted again- the flavors had blended alot. i think i'd like this dish much more without the chiles, somehow to me, they threw off the rest of the dish
