Very Bland
Even after doubling the salt, we found this to be very bland. Actually, the star in this recipe was the Smokey Apple Cinnamon Sauce which added some flavor, which was in short supply in this dish. I'll make it again,but with some changes. The applesauce added little, if anything, to this recipe. If I substitute the smokey apple cinnamon sauce for the apple sauce, perhaps the overall flavor will be much better.
