I followed it to a tee, except I used only one packet of soup mix. It was OK. I will make again, but only to use the other half of the Catalina (the West coast name for Russian) dressing. The search continues...

4 stars for how easy this is to make. 3 stars for the flavor -- I want more caramel flavor without having to reduce the juice. Soooo... 3.5 stars if I could rate it that way. Regarding mushiness: When I first made this, I checked the apples at about 3 hours, and they were almost ready -- I used a knife to test them. Then I lost track of time and cooked them another hour. They ended up mushy, so much I had to serve them in spoonfuls.

Very moist and perfect with a cup of tea in the morning.
