Fabulous! Although it was almost TOO rich ... but quite yummy. I have to say that it barely fit into an 11x7 pan, though -- the pan was nearly overflowing. Not a complaint -- just a warning to the next person to try it. I used three different types of apples, and the variety was nice... but it'd just be as good with only one. Thanks for posting!
