This makes a very good apple crisp. I specifically liked that there was lots of the filling around the apples. The flavor was really nice. The spices blended well without overpowering the apples. I used some apples which had been sitting on the island for too long and which were almost past their time. After I peeled, cored, and sliced them I let them soak in some cold water and extra lemon juice which rejuvenated them to the point that you would never have known they weren't fresh off the tree. Great recipe to use overripe apples with as well as crispy ones. Made for Spring PAC 2010
