I followed the recipe exactly, no substitutions or anything, and I had a lot of problems with this recipe. The dough was very sticky, so when I rolled it out it ended up in pieces. Then, it seemed like I had way too much filling made, like I should have only done half as many apples, because it was overflowing when I tried to put the second piece of dough on top. It baked up okay, but it just seemed like and apple pie to me! I thought it was going to be more like a bar, but it was a flaky crust on top and bottom, with apple pie filling in the middle. And to be honest, this was not even a good apple pie taste. This was a big disappointment for me, and I will not be making this again.

I made these for work and most of it was gone within a half a day.

I made this but with Honey Bunches of Oats instead of rice cereal. I also used an 8x8 pan, rolled the dough out that size, and it baked up beautifully. I used red delicious apples and cut each one into 24 wedges (with the help of an apple corer/slicer). This was delicious and didn't last long. I wish I had some vanilla ice cream to put on top of this!

Great bars! I did cut down on the liquid in the pastry as well. I used apples from my tree and brought these to a family reunion..had an empty pan 1/2 hour after we got there. A huge hit and a nice alternative to apple pie for a large group!

very yummy -- tried it out in different molds and dusted them with icing sugar. I cut down (same as recipe minus 1 big tablespoon) on the shortening used because the dough became too buttery and only used half of the egg/milk mixture becasue the dough looked as if it were to turn too sticky. I used almond essence for flavoring and added some cinnamon to the dough. Overall, a nice treat! Not difficult to make!
