Made these with the roughly 2 granny Smiths that a friend gave me so I added about 1/4 to 1/2 more of everything except salt. Sooo yummy!! I also don't have any sugar substitutes so I just used brown sugar. Perfect for when it's too hot to bake like lately!
Sharon McCaskill
Perfect! So happy you like it! I usually use coconut sugar in this instead of a sugar substitute. It's similar to brown sugar. 🙂
