THE ONLY ITEM I WOULD ADD IS A 1/2 CUP OF RAISINS WHICH WOULD REALLY MADE IT LIKE THE OLD FASHIONED FRENCH APPLE PIE.IT IS TRUELY DELICIOUS WHITH THE RAISINS AND I WOULD DEEPLY SUGGEST TO TRY IT THAT WAY. Read More

I found this recipe as a newly wed and five years later I'm still making it. I do make one change. I more than double the apples called for and then bake it for 60 minutes. This makes it a bit less cake like but still retains the flavor of the original recipe. Read More

I must say this is a quick easy and very yummy recipe. I made them into muffins and they were great. I then tried the tiny muffin tins for a bite-sized dessert for entertaining and they were a hit. If you use the small muffin tins remember to dice the apples a bit smaller. Read More

This pie is more like a cake but what a surprise to your guests when they cut into it! My pie was a huge hit mainly with me because it was easy and great. One tip the batter is really thick so I washed my hands took my ring off and mixed it with my hands without the apples. After it was well mixed I then washed my hands put my ring on so I wouldn't forget it and added the apples. Then mixed with a large spatula. By the way I used the apple peeler corer slicer and it made the apples the perfect size. Don't you just love this site? Read More

Not very good warm but pretty good after it was in the fridge overnight. I think 45 min might be a little too long in the oven because the edges are kind of tough compared to the rest of it so if I make it agian I'll try 35 or 40 min instead. Read More

Very moist and tasty I added raisins (about a 1/2 cup). It was very good with the cream cheese frosting but for a variation will try leaving off the frosting and serving with whipped cream next time. Think it would be great. Read More
