I am only giving 3 stars because it was too sweet and the topping and crust was close to burnt after 30 minutes. I followed the directions exactly but if I ever made this again would definitely cut back on the amount of brown sugar on top and keep the oven at 350, not 400. Overall, it did taste like apple pie, and my little boy enjoyed making it but we will use the original recipe at kraftfoods.com next time we make it. I should have checked there first but thought I could find it on here quicker. Thanks for posting, it was a fun snow day project!
