Reviews from readers:
I made this on Halloween morning for my family of four and it was a hit. I got thumbs up and hugs from everyone. It made so much, we are still reheating it and eating it three days later.
I made it last night and ate it right out of the oven with whipping cream on top…yummy!
More tonight for dessert with the hubby…yummy times 2!
I have this in the oven right now and the house smells amazing! The sugar on the crunchy topping is melting to make that beautiful browned topping. How will I ever wait for it to cool before diving in? Thanks you for this recipe.
It makes a wonderful lazy Saturday morning treat!
