I sliced the apples pretty thinly, and they were done at the same time as the crust. It really is pretty with the walnuts on top, and has a great texture. I do wish the apple-filling had more substance and wasn't as watery. Very easy, though.

Made this for the weekend to take to our Ladies Retreat. I was having a rough time getting organized the day I made this and didn't do it right, but didn't realize it until I had already spread the dough over the apples. I thought the dough was awful thick and couldn't figure out what was wrong ~ well, I only put in one cup of flour! Doh! It was too late at that point and I didn't want to waste the apples so I baked it anyway. It actually was pretty good and everyone loved it! Made for Zaar Cookbooks Tag.

A nice simple dessert. The walnuts are really good here. The cake is something like a bar cookie in texture, I think. I didn't find my filling to be runny or watery at all. DH loved this!
