This is just the best apple dessert! The crumb topping is outstanding. I only made a few changes. I added chopped pecans to the crumb topping and 1 tsp of vanilla to the filling. Great!!!

This smelled heavenly while baking!! It's a nice little surprise for my hubby when he gets home! I scaled it down to 1-2 servings, and it fit perfectly in the dish! I still baked it for 50 minutes though, even though it was a smaller amount. He'll be so surprised! Thanks so much! Made for the ZWT4

I would like to give you more stars, but my hands are tied. This was great. I have always wanted to make an apple pie from scratch, but have been to lazy and perhaps a little apprehensive about making my own pie crust...Well this solved my problem. I made this and the aroma was wonderful. I baked it for about 1 hour(my oven's fault)This wasnt only just easy, It was delicious. The next time, I think I will substitute brown sugar for the regular sugar in the apple mixture. I added vanilla, which enhanced the already yummy taste. I also think the next time I will put the crust in the oven for maybe 10 or 15 minutes to brown a bit and then add the rest. I ate this warm (I couldnt wait for it to cool) with ice cream. The title says it all..Almost apple pie.Thanks for this delicious recipe!!

Your preamble tells it all - quick, easy & the base tastes just like pastry! I added a wee dash of nutmeg to the apples & will probably use some brown sugar in the crumb topping next time - and there will definitely be a next time. Thanx Gerry!
