"This is an easy recipe from an old community cookbook. It is forgiving and it makes a great pan cake for pot lucks. I prefer this recipe to all others I have tried. The original recipe uses 4 large apples - I make this with more apples, cut into 1/4 " slices."

Original is 8 servings

This was easy to make. I originally had five Jonagold apples but two were bad. I supplemented with a Bartlet pear. It worked out fine. This smells awesome when its cooling off. If you are expecting more of an apple crisp top, this will not have one. Also, if you are worried about tasting too many walnuts, don't worry about that, either. It adds to the flavor, I believe. I used to not like walnuts in anything at all; so believe me when I say that it's alright to try this. I picked this for Alphabet Soup 2019.
