I left the seeds in and the skin on, and used a little less sugar. It turned out great! I don't notice the seeds at all.

This is soo freaking good! Too sweet or not! I'm not very fond of crab apples but since my little girl found a raided an apple tree on her way from school I figured I must do something with all the apples and this recipe came up! I love it!! Thank u! Only thing I did change was I used 1c. Brown sugar in place of white sugar. It's just my preference for crisps! *****

Flavor is good! But I couldn't eat it because it's so sweet. I made it full strength and that was a huge mistake. Between the sugar in the apples, the brown sugar and the honey, It's way overdone. Perhaps if you had extremely tart apples.... I can't recommend it. The topping is very tasty with a nice crisp. I think I would just eliminate sugar in the apples themselves unless they're extremely tart.

I loved it, turned out awesome. The only thing is I got confused with how much water to put it so I put 1/4 and 1/2 of water and I put my oven on at 375 the 350 my apples were still hard so I left them for and norther hour and at 385. Otherwise I love it making them for Thanksgiving .

Really an excellent recipe, the crab apples melt and turn a delicious red color after they are baked. I had to convince myself that this wasn't a cherry crisp. No peeling is necessary, it is what gives the dish the great color.
