Personal Notes
I've made these quiet a few times, and they are really good. For the topping mixture they don't specify weather you use white or or brown sugar-but I use brown sugar-it makes the topping that much sweeter.
I've used different apples different times, this time i used Gala apples-it seems to have turned out quiet well.

Enjoy!
