This was SO good! I have never made an apple dessert in my life, but I was adventurous enough to make it yesterday for a dinner party and everyone LOVED it. It was all gone in minutes! I took some reviewers' advice and reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup, used half brown and half white, and baked it for an hour. For those who have complained about it being too soggy, they should check the kind of apples that they have used. I used Golden Delicious, but I think Granny Smith or Cortland or Empire would have been good too. And I didn't slice them too thin. Thanks so much for this recipe!

This was good, but I wish I had read the reviews before I made it, because the many tips about using brown sugar would have made it even better.

This dish turned out so yummy! I substituted half of the sugar for dark brown sugar and increased the baking time by 10 minutes. I also used an 8x8 square baking dish instead of the pie plate. Thanks for the recipe and all the helpful tips!

This didn't turn out quite like I thought it would, but my fiancee loved it. It tasted a little more toffee-ish than apple betty-ish but it was so easy to make. Will definitely have it again!

Easy as pie! (pun) It's actually simpler and better than pie. Variation: 1/2 brown sugar and 1/2 white sugar. Bake for 60 minutes vs 45 minutes. This is my new favorite dessert.

Delish! I didn't have any brown sugar and I was so glad to find this recipe that didn't call for any...and it was sooooo good! I halved the recipe and baked in in a banana bread pan and it was great...there was too much topping for it though. SO GOOD! Will make again.

I had friends over for dinner, and they both work for a hotel... and they loved it! Will make it again as it is an easy, no nonsense recipe.

I've made this more times than I can count. I love it more everytime. I've made a couple changes though. First I cube a couple slices of bread usually the heal no one eats. I spead them in between the apples and the topping. Last I drizzle honey lightly ontop. One of hubby's favorites!!!

Delicious! I followed the advice everyone gave about using 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar instead of the 1 cup white sugar, and then also changed the 1/4 tsp of nutmeg to 1/4 tsp fine orange grind. Yumm! Everyone loved it :)

YUM! I love this recipe, it was so easy! I made a couple changes. I did as people suggested and did half brown sugar half white sugar. I also put half of the cinnamon in with the sugar mixture and then the other half I added to the diced apples and tossed them around to mix it in to give the apples a bit more seasoning. Thanks for the recipe--it was a hit at my house!
