Lennie, Your recipe for Apple Brown Lennie is delicious! It is so very close to my own recipe for Apple Crisp that I simply had to give it 5 stars! I used the food processor as I do in my own recipe to slice the apples which makes them nice an thin. Otherwise, I made it exactly according to your directions and baked 1 hour! It smelled so good I couldn't wait for after supper. So I had it as a mid-day snack! -
This is a delicious apple dessert. We had it warm from the oven with whipped cream. Very good! -

Great tasting and simple to make...my kind of dish! We had a snow day today so the kids and I decided to give this a try, sure glad we did...the wonderful sweet smell woke my husband up (he's on midnight shift at work)and he had to try it before going back to sleep...Thanks a bunch! -
Lennie, this dessert is deeeelicious! I've made it twice now and will be making it again for Christmas. It's really great to see something being eaten up, the dish wiped clean and that eager look for more!!! Thank you Lennie for a great recipe. Sunbeam :)
