Even with extra apples, this was much too sweet. I wish I'd read some of the reviews about reducing the sugar. Other than the sweetness, this was just okay. Sorry, I don't think I'll be making this one again.

This is really quite different for pie, however, it looked so easy I wanted to try it. I really liked it, and when I brought it to Thanksgiving, my family did too. They all agreed that, while not exactly "pie", it was very good and something different.

I'm a swede, and i liked this recipe. It's similar to another apple pudding dish i make at christmas time. I decreased sugar to 3/4, butter to 1/2 as well. I also sprinkled the apples with cornstarch, vanilla and lemon zest as recommened by others. I ground up the nuts (i used walnuts). Next time i would add a handful of raisins to the apples and drizzle it with lemon juice for a little more zing. Mine baked in about 45 minutes and i think the crust topping was too much for a small pan. i would use less next time.

This is a very good recipe. I used 3/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of white b/c I like the richer taste of brown sugar when it comes to baking with apples. I also used walnuts rather than pecans b/c that is all I had but I do think pecans would be delicious in this.

8/2/09 (just adding a few more comments after using this recipe for more than 2 years...) 1) this pie bakes faster than the time indicated (in our oven, it's done in 30-40 mins). 2) we find that using a combo of sweet and tart apples gives a nice balance of taste (we usually use 2-3 galas and 1 granny smith per pie). 3) if using plastic wrap to cover after baking, leave a small opening (this ensures that the pie will retain that flaky/crisp top). 4) btw, for variety, one can try adding a bit of sour cream into the inside of the pie. we usually put just enough liquid to slightly coat the apple slices. 11/23/06 (original review) this pie is so yummy. i followed the suggestion of putting a bit of lemon juice in the crust. also i did half and half brown and white sugar. my family absolutely loves it!

I wasn't sure how I would like this "pie" since the crust is my favorite part of a pie, but my whole family really enjoyed it. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is more cake-like in consistency, so it helps if you don't think of it as a pie. In fact, I'm going to double the recipe for a 9x13 pan for a school function. As other reviewers have indicated, the baking time is too long. I baked it for less than an hour, and the top still came out too hard. I filled the pan with apples, so it was moist enough inside, but it did run over in the oven.

Exceptionally good! My husband and I really enjoyed the mix of textures with the topping and the warm apples. I tried it as written and it came out wonderful, but it was quite brown after 55 minutes- so watch the baking time. Thanks for the great recipe!

Definitely would not make again. Came out way too dry and cake like. I used an extra apple and it still wasn't enough. Too much topping and not enough apples. It should be called Swedish Apple Cake.

This was good, as I don't like making pie crusts. I made two, both with walnuts, real butter and less sugar(brown and white). I found the crust was a little too crispy & very brown. I did cook it for less time at 55 minutes. I took one to a friends & came back and the other one was gone!!
