To me it was too sweet and got soggy really fast. Not a keeper at my house.

I made this for my sister-in-law's birthday (we'd had 2 birthdays already and needed a change from cake). Her first comment was that I should have made a double-batch! I highly recommend this recipe, my only alteration was to add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the topping. Great both warm or cold.

I made this last evening and the aroma that filled my home while it wasbaking was wonderful. They were very easy to make. They only things I did different, was to mix 1 tsp. of cinnamon into the topping and after the Apple Bake was cool, I melted a 1/2 tub of vanilla frosting in the microwave for 20 seconds and poured it over the Apple Bake. It truly was yummy!! Thanks Mr. Food! Kris

There are so many great recipes on this site, but I'd love to have the nutritional info included for each one. This would be a great addition to add calories per servings etc. to each recipe.

Tracking calories is not the same as cutting calories. No need to be unkind. Even diabetics eat desserts, for goodness sake, and many cooks monitor sodium, fats, and carbohydrates.
