Loved this recipe! I used two premade pie crusts to make a double batch. I only needed to make a batch and a half of the filling to make it work. I also added carmel on top of the apples...amazing!

Oh what a treat this was! My sister and I went apple picking and got some Macintosh apples.. A WHOLE LOT OF THEM! This is the first thing we made and it was excellent!!! The filling was creamy like cheesecake but the apples on top along with the crust just sent it over the top for us! Need I say delicious? Well ok then DELICIOUS!!! Thank you for sharing your recipe with us Dojemi! Linda
