I had my son make these with explicit instructions to pop the apples in boiling water to remove wax as pr previous reviews. Well, he forgot this step and they were an absolute disaster with the caramel in a giant puddle underneath the apples. So I scrubbed off the caramel and started again. I dipped the apples in boiling water for ten seconds and dried them well. Then I placed them in the freezer so they were chilled. I remade the caramel using the chewy caramel recipe from this site [easier than all that unwrapping]. I made sure the temperature was around 200 when I dipped the apples. They could not have been more perfect and everyone loved them. Moral of the story, read the reviews before you make a new recipe!!!

This was an excellent pie. The sugar to apples ratio is perfect. Like other reviewers I added a tsp of cinnamon. I took this pie to a dinner party and it was a big hit.

I did not have any ground lamb so I used 2 bonesless chicken breasts. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly. I wanted it served hot so just added in the spinach at the end until it wilted slightly. I made it for my daughter and I as a main course. As a main course for the two of us it would have served four people. If my husband was home this amount would have served two.
