"I am so glad I found this recipe. It is wonderful, and so easy! The first time I made this, I had to do without the rosemary (realized I was out, and use rice vinegar instead of cider vinegar.

"I. Love. This. Crisp! Pears are my fiance's favorite fruit, and I absolutely love them too, so when I found beautiful pears on sale recently I knew I had to make something wonderful with them. This was the perfect choice! The only thing I did differently was to add a wee bit more sugar to the whipped cream, and a tad more spice. Thank you for shar..."

"I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. This bread is SPECTACULAR! I made it two weeks in a row, and both times is was scarfed up. The 1st time, I made it for a dinner of 6 people, and had not one crumb left -- people were fighting over who got the last of it! : Even folks who don't usually like pumpkin loved it. I had to do without the saffr..."

"I absolutely love this stew, so much so that I've made it twice already in the past three weeks. : In one batch I used plain apple juice, and in the other I used a spiced cider. Both came out wonderful, though my fiance actually preferred the one made with the plain juice, saying the other was a bit sweet for him. I loved it either way. It's easy..."

I used vanilla rice milk instead of cow's milk (allergy organic apple blackberry sauce; a teaspoon of cinnamon; 2 teaspoons of organic maple syrup; and only 1/3 cup of brown sugar. It tasted very much like a spicy oatmeal cookie. :yummy: I didn't bother with the yo..."

"Simply spectacular! I used walnuts, and took the advice of some other reviewers and increased the amount of topping by 50%. I agree with others who noted that the apple flavor is not prominent, but frankly the overall cake is so good that it didn't matter to anyone in my house. : I may increase the amount of chopped apple slightly next time, and ..."
