Speaking strictly as a 3rd generation chef, this recipe is good but lacks real taste. Certainly the cook time should be increased to fully cook the apples and ad more “crispiness” to the crust. I suggest a tablespoon of sweet sherry be added to the apples.
Dima is absolutly right…additional fruits and cooking time make this a fun breakfast for everyone. Play with it and this will become a holiday tradition for those cool winter mornings where time is a plenty and hunger builds with the delightful aroma.
This is an excellent old fashioned recipe. I would, however, use a little less sugar. Everyone I shared it with truly enjoyed it.

We use honey instead of brown sugar to sweeten the apples. I also like adding a cup of finely chopped walnuts or pecans to the topping.
The topping freezes nicely, so you can make it in large batches, and store in 1 or 1.5-cup lots for future use.
I did enjoy this recipe. I found that it was a bit greasy. I would cut down on the 1 cup of butter though.
My son and I made this together, as well as a big mess, but it tasted great!
This always reminds me of Christmas! It’s warm and sweet and simply delicious. I adore it!
I’ve made this recipe a few times, with some adjustments. I found that the amount of flour and sugar to coat the apples is way to little. I used, for just 4 large apples, 1 cup flour and 3/4 cup sugar, and that barely coated them. Also, I used a bit less butter, and someone could also get away with increasing the oats or adding some flour so it wouldn’t be as “greasy”, if that’s the way they like it. Overall, it’s a good recipe, but like a lot of recipes, you have to adjust according to your family’s tastes and diet.
