When this recipe was first posted in or weekly magazine, I tried it for a church group. It read: Preheat oven to 400*
Bake 10 minutes until light brown.
I knew this coldn't be correct, of course it was not done at 10 mins. so I continued to do 10 mins. until it was golden brown. It took about 40 mins. This was for a church dinner& I got rave reviews. I loved it too. Now that I have the correct info on it, I will try again. In reading the recipe, you probably did not get very many people to try it, therefore, no reviews. I would recommend repeating in the magazine since it is apple season.
