I made this on Tuesday and tried it last night... oh my goodness it was delicious!!! I normally do not excell in the kitchen so when my hubby tried it he was very, very impressed! The only changes I made to the recipe were: I used a full cup of pecans and I did not peel my apples.... I would recommend peeling yours :) Also, if the store near you sells graham cracker crumbs and not just the crackers I would buy that- The hardest part of this entire recipe was crushing the graham crackers :pat: I was also very thankful for my kitchenaide while mixing everything!!!!

Glad it turned out good. Sounds like you made a hit with your husband. That's always a good thing. Also works in reverse, now it's his turn! :D

Sounds good Bethany! :thumb: I remember your mom rolling out graham crackers by putting them between two sheets of wax paper and using a rolling pin to crush them. I'm half afraid to ask, but .... how did you crush yours up?

Doc, crushed anything here is no problem. Just go through the checkout line at the store. What the cashier doesn't get the bagger will finish!

Well, Doc, after some experimenting I did end up using my rolling pin for the second time since 2005 :D I don't know why I didn't think to use it first but I am glad I remembered that I owned one before it was too late.

This looks really good! A little drizzle of caramel sauce and I'd be one happy camper!
