This dish was created by my great-grandmother. It is still at the top of my cut-out recipe list and has survived four generations. Rolling the dough extremely thinly is the key! For the finest flavor, frost with buttercream.

Worked perfectly! Thanks so much! The recipe can also be used as a guide for bread pudding. Bake the apples with a pat of butter for 10 min. Gently stir in your egg&milk-soaked bread cubes. Bake for another 20 min (I didn’t cover the bowl again as I like it crispy).
I diced the apples really small, but even so, they still seemed a little firmer than I prefer. Next time I’ll cook them a little longer and I’ll add some lemon juice to brighten it up a bit. I doubled the topping since I used an oblong dish. I really like that this serves only 2 and can be made in the air fryer.
This is fantastic! I had to adapt it to our diets by using buckwheat and quinoa flakes instead of oats, and I used vegan butter substitute. The method is spot on. The apples were cooked but not mushy and the topping was crispy. Excellent!
