I thought this was a 5 and hubby said a 4, one thing we did agree on was this would make the absolute most perfect topping to an apple crumble. My hubby also said he loved the carrot, but thought this with the topping was too much together. I think more my fault, than the recipe, as if I knew that it was going to turn out this way, would never have paired it with the steak I made. I can judge by the exceptional flavour it would be a major hit. If you paired this with the right main dish, it would go so well and my oh my what compliments you would get. I will definitely make this again but will pair with the appropriate main dish so it can be apreciated by all. The only thing I did differently was to do this in individual oven proof bowls so it looked pretty. Thanks Whatcha Cookin', Mom?
