  • Delicious! Quick and easy. I added a touch of vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg & cloves. I intended to add it to a puff pastry shell, but it never made it that far.

  • I used pears, and it turned out AMAZING. I served it on top of the Spiced Waffles the recipe is supposed to go with, and everyone who ate it was amazed.

  • Do you all think this could be used as an Apple Pie filling, maybe even if I omit the cream as suggested in review #1?

  • I used this as a filling in the epicurious recipe for caramelized banana purses. I omitted the cream, used half light brown sugar and half white sugar, and added cinnamon and toasted walnuts and pistachios. My guests loved it.

  • Excellent! This recipe received rave reviews - I've made it a number of times. The only "suggestion" came from my 14 year old son - he wanted more of the "gooey stuff". Flavor is excellent! Easy to prepare & makes plenty!

  • Try this over Haagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream - apples slightly warm, ice cream frozen well. It's rather like an upside down apple pie a la mode! Quite tasty.
