Although I'm not into using soy/tofu big time, I wanted to make this to see how it would work out 'cause I have a son & DIL who are vegetarian! I was happy with the flavor, but did add a bit of warmed applesauce to the topping! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick-A-Chef]
