"Very good. I think the pastry needs a bit more sugar though as well as the apples. I, like other reviewers, added a good amount of cinnamon to the sugar mixture. Will probably make again but will tweak the recipe to my taste. :)"

"Awesome!!! Everyone loved it last night. Discovered we were out of Vodka at the last minute so used dry white wine. It was amazing!!!! I will use Vodka and make my own marinara next time and see how that goes. This is a definite keeper. :)"

"This was not a hit at my house tonight. It wasn't horrible and it wasn't anything special. It was just okay. It was a lot of work and I will not make it again. Ina is one of my favorites on FN and 99% of her recipes rock usually, so I'm pretty surprised. I am hopeful that the rest of her recipes in the new cookbook are going to be awesome. Can't w"

"Awesome! I don't like fennel, so I add extra leeks and asparagus to make up for it. It's so good.
I've been making this for years and the whole family loves it. :
