I made this for a special dinner and it turned out amazingly well!. I used a 10in glass pie dish. I didn't think there was enough batter while I was making it but that's the way it is supposed to be. It looks like batter coated apple chunks at first, but bakes into a beautiful and tasty dessert! Thanks so much!!!
