Caramel Apple Crumble Pie
This recipe is good for a base but I made quite a few changes after reading the reviews first. I followed the suggestion to add a little more flour so I used 2 tablespoons flour. I made homemade caramel sauce and put some in the bottom and on top of the apples as well as drizzled over the finished pie. I didin't think 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon was quite enough for crumble topping so I added a whole teaspoon. I cut back on the brown sugar in the pie filling to 1/4 cup since the caramel and the crumb topping was already sweet. I want to taste a littel tartness from the apples. Suggestions for soggy crust. When you are preheating your oven, pop your crust in for about 5 minutes before you fill. Someone suggested to me a long time ago and I do every pie this way, even the ones I freeze. I have no problems with doughy or soggy crust. I'm giving a 4 star since it is a good start to a pie but I did have to altar the recipe.

Triple-Cheese Macaroni
This recipe did not work for me. I followed it exactly with the exception of using 1 kind of chedder. It was more like a egg casserole with noodles and cheese. The flavor was not bad but it looked curdled because of the eggs. I'm giving 3 stars for ok flavor.

Four Egg Yellow Cake
I'm not sure what happened but I followed the recipe exactly and it did not turn out very well. It was heavy and the kids said it tasted like sweet cornbread without the cornmeal. The liked it and did eat it. For this I'm giving 3 stars.
