This is a very tasty traditional comfort food. I made this for dessert, but it didn't make it though the meal before it was gone. The topping stays "crisp" and doesn't get soggy like some other recipes I have tried.

This was very good. Loved the topping and there was plenty of it. Perfect amount of sugar for us. Not to sweet. The spice combination was very good also. Will be making this again. Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Fall 08

This is super! I love the nutmeg. Lots of delicious topping! However, there's far too much sugar -- I reduced it to 1/2 cup and we thought it should be cut down even further to 1/3 cup. Too much sugar prevents you from really tasting the apples, and especially if you use a sweeter variety like Golden Delicious, a lot of added sugar isn't necessary.

What a wonderful recipe! I added a handful of dried cranberries to the apple, turned out delicious! Thank you Poss, I will be making this again :)

Nice and crunchy. I used an 8in. square cake pan and the size was perfect.
