Made this last night. Just ate some leftovers this morning. Really easy & delicious and looks good! A few edits: I used only 7 apples, I added a tad more lemon juice and tossed some sugar with the apple-cinnamon-lemon mix. Came out well. I would make it again with these modifications. Happy Cooking!

So easy and simple delicious!!

I've made this recipe twice and both times it was great! I used Northern Spy apples and confess i did add some cinnamon and sugar to them. Now it is January and I can't find Spys to use, so I'll give Grannys a try.

I don't want to give up on this recipe because it's a good option to making pie. But the comments are valid. Tring this for a second time. This time, I tried using Pink Lady apples and tossed them with some sugar making sure to drain the extra liquid after mixing the juice, sugar and cinnamon well with the apples. Also, I increased the crust recipe by 1/4 so I had enough to make the bottom thicker and a little extra for the topping (I ran out the first time).

Terrible!!! Wasted money and time! Apples are too tart with no added sugar and came out mushy! Will never try to do it again.

Tasty overall, but others' comments are valid: bottom crust was pretty soft, Granny Smiths would be too tart, recipe calls for too many apples. Simple recipes great, but I'd opt for another recipe in the future. Juices from apples sink and cause mushy crust because the flour in the topping doesn't mix with the apples. The texture of the crust where it wasn't mushy, wasn't the best. Suggestions: toss apples with some extra flour, maybe some sugar too, add oats to crust, try cooking apples first.

Kaygi, it says to use 2/3 of the crumble mixture for the base, thus the remaining 1/3 is for the topping.

Recipe does not tell you to put aside someof the crumb mixture for the top. Baking it now, smells good, but will let you know the results.

Made this today it was awesome, I will try it with less butter next time and see if I get the same results.

I made this last night, I bought a bag of Mac's at the Farmers Market and it was easy and yummy.
A tarter apple would have even been better, skip the powered sugar and go right to the ice cream...just perfect.

I have made this recipe many times over, since it first appeared. I have always been delighted with the results and so have my family and friends. Always get asked for the recipe. Turns out perfect each and every time!!

going to try this asap...have one tip for baking apples and not getting too mushy.....mix apples with tapioca.....absorbs alot of the moisture....

I have made this for years, never any leftovers

gonna try this recipe - it sounds good!

This was a really fun cake/crisp to make! So easy and such simple ingredients. It got rave reviews from the hubs.

I also did not use all the apples...I'd say I used 9 or 10. I don't know how the topping would have stayed on if there were any more apples! It was already falling off the sides.

Some of my crust was mushy too, but not too bad. Overall flavor was great. I wonder if I didn't bake it long enough? I only had it in there an hour because it was golden brown on top. Any thoughts?

DELICIOUS! DELICIOUS! DELICIOUS! This is the BEST apple dessert ever. You can make this 100% organic, simple to make, flawless instructions. It has a fresh, lightly sweet and tart flavor, wonderful texture.

My roommate made this tonight and it was DELICIOUS! I'm not sure how other peoples' crust turned out soggy...ours was perfect. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream. This is a perfect dessert for fall. Or any time, actually...

I made this last night. The flavors were great but the crust was really wet and gummy, not cake like at all. I would recommend someone try reworking this recipe to find away to remove all the excess moisture. Not sure if I'll make it again.

I replaced butter by olive oil since we do not use much butter but the result was great anyway. We loved the caramelised sugar and the cinnamon taste.

What a waste of time and energy put into this baking disaster. First of all, with two sticks of butter, the crust came out soggy, liquid came out from the sides and bottom, the apples were supremely tart and I ended up throwing the entire thing out in the trash after we took a bite out of it. Whoever created this winner needs to revamp it because it is no good. I will stick to apple pie next time. I am a longtime baker and cook and this was my first mistake.

I had extra apples left over as well - I think 9 pounds would have been better. This is a new family favorite, and will definitely have vanilla ice cream to serve with it next time!

I did half the recipe in a smaller pan, so I had a thin layer on the bottom, like a normal pie crust and it was perfect, wasn't soggy at all, it was almost like a chewy toffee cookie, then a layer of apple that i fried in butter, browsugar, lemonjuice and cinamon (maybe 1 T of each) I had to make a bit extra crumbles for the top tho.. have only one word for this cake.. YUM! serve warm with vanilla ice cream

This tasted delicious, but the crust was very soggy on bottom. I also had a hard time fitting 5 pounds of apples into the pan. Good recipe, but next time I might use 3 to 4 pounds of apples.

One of my favorite recipes! Turns out great every time!

This is absolutely delicious! I have made a few times, and it got rave reviews! It is a great dessert to bring to Thanksgiving supper.
