  • How long before baking would you say to take from refrigerator? Maybe 30 minutes? Those who have made it, if you see this, did you put it directly from refrigerator into oven?

  • This sounded ideal for Christmas morning brunch, and it was. Our friends really enjoyed it with bacon and sausage as side dishes. I did not need the # of apples indicated -- you can probably do it with 2 or 3. Also, I used a combination of eggs and egg whites for the egg requirement, as well as, a mixture of Splenda and sugar instead of all sugar. The dish was very sweet and the vanilla & cinammon were the dominant flavors. In all, it was a perfect brunch party dish! AND you could make it

  • Excellent, bring along the recipe when you serve 'cuz others always want it. I was only able to use 2-3 apples, not enough room in the pan for more. Also, did not use all the cinnamon sugar mix over the top, but what remained I saved for use on my toast.
    IF there is any leftovers, they microwave great too!

  • This recipe is just excellent easy fast and healthy. You can't ask for more than that.Use grain bread, egg beaters and splenda for a diabeitc version of it. The taste is the same.
