It is fantastic. I had almond meal and an apple to use up, and stumbled across this recipe. Wasn't expecting it to be so nice! I did (by accident) added 1/4 cup of oil. Didn't have applesauce, so I substituted the same amount of natural yogurt. I will try the recipe without the oil next time. I like the fact that the addition of almond meal makes it more protein and fibre-rich. Will definitely make it again. Thanks for the recipe
