This went very well!! I just added a couple of pinches of nutmeg to the apples, as well as the cinnamon. I used Granny Smith and crunchy apples with honey and the taste was amazing! I will definitely do this again.
While trying to be a hybrid between a cake and a crisp is not successful. Yeah, maybe it’s easier than making a cake, but a lot harder than making a crisp. The flavor just fell away. I’ll still stick with my tried and true apple pie and crunchy recipes!
Delicious, quick, and easy! Sometimes a whole pie is too much for us. This recipe was perfect for dessert with just a few extra slices that will definitely disappear tomorrow. I forgot the caramel topping, but the vanilla ice cream went well with this pizza. With apple season just around the corner, I anticipate making this dessert often.
This has been a hit every time I’ve made it for a family lunch or dinner. I’ve been asked for the recipe countless times. I use a big tube of crescent rolls for the crust, because it’s faster and easier than making my own crust, and it’s always great. For a change, try a large tube of cinnamon rolls to make a crust. Press the thin ones into the pan and seal the seams. Proceed with the recipe as written. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better! All that goodness of cinnamon. YUM!! And don’t forget the vanilla ice cream.
