November 21, 2011I used this recipe last fall and found it to be straight-forward and easy to follow. The amount of spice in it was right on the money and the house smelled wonderful!
I, personally, found the finished product to be a bit on the sweet side, but rather than using less sugar I would go for an apple that is more tart. I used Royal Gala so would go for the Granny Smith next time.
Having said that, I will definitely use this recipe again.
