Notes
Nutrition
in the first part of the list of ingredients, there is 1/2C of four listed but no other mention of it. I guess it goes in the filling part to add substance to the juices.
I will fix that in the recipe. Thanks!
The sugar is listed in the apple part. Added by mistake. Perhaps it should be moved to toppings. Thanks for the recipe. Hopefully won’t be too sweet.
Thanks for noticing that Sue, I have edited the recipe to fix the brown sugar.
how big is the serving ?
About a cup is one serving.
Ohh my gosh this looks YUMMY! Thanks!
Just wondering if there is supposed to be brown sugar in both the “Ingredients” and the “topping”? Thanks!
Yes there is supposed to be brown sugar in both.
In one of your comments you said that there was brown sugar in both the apple part and the topping. If this is so, how much brown sugar goes into the apples. Can quick cooking oats be used or is it better with the old fashioned oats.
The recipe now reads correctly Dianne…it should be 1/4 cup brown sugar with the apples and 1/4 cup brown sugar in the topping. Sorry about that. When we transferred the recipe off of some old software we were using it lost an ingredient line in there somehow. I just double checked my hand-written notes on this recipe and it is 1/4 cup and 1/4 cup.
I know you said that the recipe is sweet – but could you please, still include the NI for it?
It is this time of the year that I am really regretting that my hubby is diabetic!!
Hi Kay, I have gone ahead and added the nutritional information for this recipe for you.
