Fantastic pie! I added extra cinnamon and nutmeg (about 2 tbs each) along with a tablespoon of vanilla to the syrup and it caramelized beautifully with the apples. My friends call it "caramel apple pie", and it tastes as good as it sounds! It's also very versatile.. I've made it with fresh pie crust and lattice top, store-bought pie crust with whole top, and graham cracker crust with streusel topping and it ALWAYS comes out beautifully!

I stuck to the recipe as is, and it turned out DELICIOUS! The house was filled with warm, yummy smells all day. This is comfort food at it's finest! The only reason I gave it four stars is because while it is big on flavor, the chicken and dumplings end up looking like a weird mush. Don't be turned off by how it looks though, the taste is well worth it.

I also would rate these higher if I could.. whoever came up with this recipe is a genius. The only thing I do differently is I skewer them individually on toothpicks then roll them in brown sugar, and bake them in a foil pan that I can just throw away because the cleanup is a hassle. I also like to broil them for a couple of minutes after baking to get the bacon nice and crispy. I leave them on the toothpick skewers so people can avoid the sticky fingers that comes with picking them up. They are DELICIOUS, and soon you too will be the toast of the picnic if you bring these around!
