I made this 2 years ago and it didn't turn out at all like I was expecting. I ended up by throwing it all out.

I didn't use the type of apples they suggested, and I'm sure thats why the results were as they were.

Dh loves apple pies though, so I may try it again with the proper apples this time.

I made apple crisp last year with the wrong apples. UGH. I'd like to try making it mostly to use as a pancake, waffle, ice cream type topping.
