Very tasty! I sometimes add more apples since the recipe makes so much of the rich sauce.

I love this recipe. I add some sliced marachino cherries for color and texture.

I love this recipe, my local grocery store used to make it in their deli but hasn't for years and I've always wanted to make it myself. It is so yummy!
