Loved it ! The cinnamon, cloves and allspice MAKE this dish. I used Granny Smith apples and they were still fairly crunchy by the time the sauce was thick and it was a wonderful combination of flavours. Please see my rating system, a lovely 4 stars for a simple and flavourful dish. Thanks! -
Oh My. I made this tonight for dessert. I only had 2 apples, so I cut the recipe in half. As I was peeling one of the apples, I realized that it was rotting, so that left me with one apple. Well, by that point I was committed to making this, so I did it anyway. I had lots of sauce, and just enough apple to feed the family. I served this over vanilla ice cream. It was great. I would definitely recommend thin apple slices. Other than that, I will be making this again. I can't wait! -
Umm.....holy #^&@# this is ridiculously good. It is spot-on for comstock apple-pie filling sauce (I love this stuff), but the quality is as if you were to order it at a 5-star restaurant. I combined this with my grandmother's old cinnamon doughnut recipe to use as a base/crust. I then made a very traditional streusel topping of (1C Flour + 1C Brown Sugar + 5TB Shortening +2tsp cinnamon +1 tsp nutmeg). Baked it for maybe 15M to get it crispy I then added 2 scoops of vanilla bean ice cream and drizzled some of the left over-sauce (There is plenty, as the other reviewers said.) Needless to say, it was a A+ material for sure. -
I used gala apples in this dish and it was WONDERFUL!!!!Makes alot of sauce, so I used some of the sauce and drizzled it over some ice cream. Will make this again. Very nice combination of flavors.

I used this for pancake/crepe filling and thought it was perfect! Made it on a camp stove while out in the woods! Used Pink Lady apples and wouldn't change a thing! It does make a lot of sauce! Thanks evelyn this one's a keeper!!

Homey I guess, about as homey as apple pie. My BF and I decided this tasted like apple pie without the crust. We made low-fat adjustments of 1 tablespoon butter and non-fat yogurt instead of cream. Made 1/4 the recipe for the two of us also. If you add all the butter and cream, it would be much more filling. We are not really dessert people, and really enjoyed this instead of our usual no-sugar-added popsicle. We did not think there was too much sauce, either. Apples were still fairly crunchy by the time the sauce thickened. Thanks evelyn/athens:D

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
