“I served this for the first time at a group gathering last night. It was so good we cleaned the plate! It's close enough to a traditional apple pie that you don't miss the classic version. It's just a fun twist. The icing makes it too! I was surprised how ” — a cook, 5.0★
“Yum! I just used premade pie crusts from the store and my family ate it before I got the glaze on it but everyone loved it! It was fun to turn upside down!” — a cook, 5.0★
