"These were super! The crusts are small, so my daughter was able to make the pies all by herself!"
-Annisette
"This cake was probably the best Jewish Apple Cake I've ever eaten. Moist, lots of apples.. And it was easy to make... Next time I bake this, I'll probably add nuts and a little bit more cinnamon."

-Jen's*Kitchen

-Chef #792255
"I made this for my family and am so glad I did. It will definitely be a family recipe. Easy and fun. Makes the house smell great while it's cooking and is the best tasting apple butter I have ever had.”
-Evelyn
"This is a yummy recipe! I added just a dash of flour to the apple mixture, to keep apple juices a little thicker. I also found the cooking temp to be a little too high. My crust was very dark brown after only about 15 minutes. I reduced the temp to about 350 and it cooked nicely."
-Lisa Sorrell
"I found this recipe in a magazine several years ago and have made it quite a few times since then. It's so good — everyone always loves it."
-SteffofMS
"We have made this several times now, and the results are really yummy. The frozen puff pastry I bought recommends baking at 400 and not 350. For me, cooking at 350 for 20 minutes yielded a less puffy and anemic sort of looking pastry. When cooked at 400 for 25 minutes, the pastries rocked!”
-Desert Mojo
"Awesome recipe. Easy to assemble the night before and bake in the morning. I used Granny Smiths because that's all I had on hand, and it was still terrific. By the way, the smell was incredible while it was baking.”
-BogeysMom
"I have used this recipe heaps of times. I think it’s the best-ever apple pie filling I’ve ever used. In fact, I just had my granddaughter call me asking for an apple pie for her birthday Saturday."
-knc48
"What a produce saver. I was already baking and realized I had some bananas that were about to be tossed and stumbled on this recipe. Very moist and fragrant. Combinations of fruit are endless.”
-Deborah1
"Superb!!! So delicious. Very sweet, too, so reduced sugar by leaving white sugar out alltogether. On the second go I added 1 tsp cinnamon and it went really nicely also."
-rosslare
"This is the most amazing apple pie recipe in the world! I've made it for three different groups of people so far, and it was gone in hours. I decided to use part Fuji apples (sweet) and part Granny Smith apples (tart). The combination was perfect!"
-bnrup
“I’ve tried to make caramel apples from scratch before but the caramel always slides off. This recipe was amazing! It worked out perfectly. It's worth waiting for the caramel to reach the perfect temperature.”

“I made this today for brunch, and my whole house still smells delicious! This is a great recipe! Easy to fix and I love the dough, easy to work with.”
-FLUFFSTER
"This had great flavor, and was certainly easy to prepare, but I wish the directions were a bit clearer. The flour needs to be measured by weight, not volume. I made the mistake of measuring by volume and ended up with a filling that was way too thin and just didn't set properly, even after an extra 10 minutes in the oven.”
-Lynne M
"Delicious! I cut this recipe in half to serve three of us & used three six-ounce ramekins. The topping was not exactly what I expected, based on making apple crisps in the past, but as it turned out we really enjoyed the caramel-like flavor of it.”
