First note: I doubled this recipe to take to a potluck. That said, I tweaked mine (as I usually do) by adding about 2 tablespoons more sugar and 2 tablespoons more butter, plus less flour by about 1/4 cup and I cheated (lol) by using Quaker instant oatmeal that already had nuts (raisin, date, and walnut flavor, to be exact). By using more butter and less flour, I could 'pat' the topping on to be sure to cover all the apples fully and it baked up perfectly in about 55 mins. I also omitted the maple syrup because I thought the additional sugar (plus whatever flavoring was in the instant oatmeal) would be sufficient. Both dishes I brought were large (15x10 or 12) and were scraped clean in under 90 minutes! And no, there wasn't more than say 25 people (max) at this potluck.

Everyone in the family loved it including my 20 month old! I followed a tip from another reviewer and added cinnamon on top. Next time I think I will try it with peach as another reviewer mentioned! I didn't even peel the apples it wasn't necessary but I used a mixture of Gala & Fuji.

Loved this recipe! I substituted pecans for walnuts, added a touch of apple pie spice and drizzled caramel topping over the top instead of maple syrup. Perfect recipe for my boyfriend and son who do not care a lot for chocolate desserts. Will make again.

Made this the other night for my Husband, Son and Father-in-law. They all LOVED it and it's now it's in my recipe binder. I did add cinnamon as recommended on one of the reviews. The maple and nuts gives it wonder flavor and makes the topping nice and crisp.

This was an excellent dessert to make. It was so tasty. Usually I don't care to much for some apple desserts but I had left over apples that were on the verge of wrinkling so I decided to make this. I am glad I did and would make it again. I followed the recipe exactly but I did sprinkle cinnamon on top because what is an apple dessert without cinnamon.
