I must agree with the majority of the people on this dessert. It was perfect! I used 8 granny smith apples and sliced them thinly in the food processor. I tossed the apples in the sugar mixture just to coat them, and omitted the water. I also doubled the crust recipe and put half on the bottom, then the layer of apples, then the other half on the top. It was wonderful! Served with cold vanilla bean ice cream and a cup of smooth coffee. Mmm good!

I really liked this recipe. I was hesitant to add the meatballs without pre-cooking them, but I am glad that I did. They gave the sauce a great flavor. Also, some of the pieces of meatball broke up into the sauce making it "thicker and meatier" as my husband says. I took this to a pot luck and there was none of it left! Served with angel hair pasta. Will definitely make again.

I thought the recipe was only fair. It was quite bland for my tastebuds and required a lot more seasonings. I also thought it had too much tomato paste. If I make it again I will use 1/2 the tomato paste, and more seasonings.
