This recipe looks delicious! Can you use Macintosh apples in place of the Granny Smith?

Kids and I are making this tomorrow! Great web page!

I love the Pyrex dish! I was lucky to find a set of four with the lids at a garage sale.

What is maple sugar? Do you find it with regular white and brown sugar at the store?

I used honey crisp apples and it was so good. I also used maple syrup instead. Very good. Can’t wait to make some more!

The comments keep referencing sugar but no where in the recipe can I find sugar… was this modified or is it missing an ingredient?
