My boyfriend, Armando really liked this recipe. I followed the recipe, with some spice additions, and took some suggestions as to cook the apples for a while. My boyfriend stated that he thought the apples were a little overcooked. The only change that I made was to add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg and a pinch of allspice to the crust. So to summarize, next time I will only cook it for 15 minutes and try again. The crust recipe was super easy to make compared to a rolled crust. I will use it again to make pumpkin pie later this month.

I make a similar recipe, but add one teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice. The lemon juice will make your dough break down a little but keep beating it and it comes back together.
