This is a great dessert, CoffeeB; Thanks for sharing! My mom makes a dessert similar to this for the holidays, but I'm glad I didn't have to wait! I used only 2 HUGE granny smith apples and craisins, with a mixture of cinnamon and nutmeg. Next time, I think I'll make a maple whipped cream to serve with the crunchy goodness!

I can only echo the other reviews, this is excellent. I used dried cherries in place of cranberries (not a great fan), and apple pie spice. My topping didn't "set" because I used 2 tbsp of Splenda regular and only 1 tbsp of margarine (I made a half recipe). Thats ok, I expected that and it's a trade off that I'm very willing to make to reduce as much sugar and fat as I can. I love it with no reservations :D.
