Notes

  1. We like to peel our apples, but it is optional.
  2. These can be frozen, see my tips above.
  3. Easily double this recipe to serve more people.
  4. The crumb topping is optional but HIGHLY encouraged, so so flavorful.
  5. These can be also made into bread by placing in a greased loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
