I made this recipe with 3 small granny smith apples and two large breaburn apples, hoping it would come out nicely. Sure enough, when it came out, the apples had their shape but when you put them in your mouth, they just melted! So delicious. All my boys loved them and said it came out PERFECT! Highly suggest this with some ice cream.

I'm kind of shocked by the positive reviews on this recipe. It was very dry. I had to add extra water to make any liquid at all. In the end the texture was part dried-out apples, part mealy oat/flour topping. The flavor was ok, but I was so disappointed with the texture that I'm not making this recipe again.

Hello dave!
This recipe was SCRUMPTIOUS..
Its so yummy.. I made it as a desert when I made a surprise anniversary dinner for my me and my husband. He said it was heavenly delicious.. I added a twist on it though, I sprinkled a french vanilla coffee mixture on top of it to give it rich taste and rich color. I followed everything in the recipe. I am recommending it to anyone..

CHEERIOS!!!

I made this for my in-law's Christmas get together. I had to make a few adjustments from the original recipe, because I had to double the recipe to feed 20+ people. All of the apples were quite small this time of year, so I did a combination of Honey Crisp (4 large and Granny Smith (1 bag of small apples. This was a great combination! I added more lemon to the apples as I peeled them to keep them from browning, which resulted in a thinner "sauce" so I ended up adding more flour to the apple mixture than called for in the recipe. Also, after reading other reviews, I used slightly less flour in the crumble mixture than called for, and added a little extra butter as well to avoid it being too grainy. The texture of the crumble was perfect after that!

My mother in law was put off that I didn't use her Apple Crisp recipe that she's made for years. She made a point to tell several of her children and grandchildren, "Now this isn't my recipe, it's Chelsea's, so you'll have to try it and tell her what you think of it." They did, and every one of them raved about how much they loved it. She was the only one who turned her nose up to it and acted as though it was merely okay. I also served it with vanilla ice cream and heated caramel sauce on the side. It was really sensational!

I make the recipe almost exactly as written (I rarely do that - but instead, used 4 different types of apples (I think 1 braeburn, 2 honey crisp and 1 granny smith and probably added a little too much brown sugar to the "crust" (I don't measure things... As suggested by other reviewers, I used an 8x8 pan and so I halved the amount of flour in the "crust". Instead of balling the butter as called for in the recipe, i thinly sliced room temperature butter and just laid it on top of the crust - this helped me cut down on the amount used (I used 2-4 tablespoons.

After baking for 40mins, crust was brown, filling was bubbly, and apples had a nice texture to them (soft, but not smooshy.

Changes I would make in the future: definitely cut the amount of flour in the topping in half; 8x8 pan works well (I like a thicker pastry, I'd reduce the sugar to a little less than what's called for, and I'd add in some apple pie spice and some nutmeg.

Impression: tastes a lot like apple pie but a lot healthier recipe (most apple pie crust recipes I know call for 2 sticks of butter rather than the 1 stick in this recipe. You get the same taste in 20mins of prep work (which is a additionally a lot easier..., and a nice crust. : I actually prefer this to pie, again, b/c of the ease of making and b/c it's healthier. Bf complained that the crust was "dry" - this can be remedied by adding another 2-4 tablespoons of butter as the recipe calls for (i used half of that
