This was delicious. I used my own home made apple pie filling. I couldn't get the pastry to roll out to any bigger than about 9"X12" so I only used half the apple filling, I think maybe my box could be smaller than the size you used. I am going to use the other half tomorrow with the rest of the pie filling. Thanks for posting a great recipe. -- posted Jun 18, 2005 UPDATE-I made it again and still couldn't get it to roll out any bigger but it looked pretty good so I took a few pictures. Taste is excellent.

This is so easy and good, but any pie filling will be wonderful in it. In fact I think just slicing a few apples and sprinkling them with sugar and cinnamon will also be wonderful and I will probably make it that way next time. Thanks for sharing this super easy dessert recipe!
