"Sure this recipe might be misleading a little bit, and might not have all the information a beginning baker might need, but the recipe itself is delicious. On paula's website, there is a short 5 minute clip on this dish, and it is all you really need to make this dish. You really can't go wrong with butter, bread, apples and sugar. Some tips/suggestions from me: I used 1 1/2 times the sugar and spices mixture to have enough for a good thick topping. I added a pinch of cloves and a pinch of allspice, made my own bread crumbs and threw some vanilla into the apples/zest mix and baked for 55 minutes at 350 degrees. The top was crunchy, the apples tender and soft and the taste was unbelievable. Give it another go, I think you'll see this dish is simple and exquisite!
