Excellent -- this dish got loads of compliments at Thanksgiving dinner! I agree with other suggestions to cut down the white sugar. I'd start with a couple of tablespoons and just add gradually to taste, especially since the topping is very sweet.

I was surprised how well this turned out! Definitely tastes better the next day -- just cover after it cools from the oven. I used only 1/2 cup of sugar and upped the spices (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg) and cut the apples into 1/2 inch wedges as 1 inch seems huge. I also tried adding a middle streusal layer (of blended pecans, brown sugar and butter like a coffee cake topping) instead of the walnuts, and this was a big hit.

A very classy cookie. I doubled the amount of almond extract and almonds.
