Tasty, but a little bland. I like the Kahlua flavor, but it really needs some cinnamon or other seasoning. I use some cinnamon, but will probably put more the next time, along with some nutmeg. I expected the Kahlua flavor to be a little stronger. I also needed a larger saucepan than a 3-quart to accommodate 6 cups of apples. I cut back the cornstarch to 1 tablespoon because I like my pies juicy. I used apple juice, but would be curious to try it with orange or maybe with apple cider.
