This is an absolute dream - exactly as written. Like soft, oatmeal cookies on top of delicious apple goodness. I have doubled it every time I've made it, and it almost overflows a 9x13, but it's delicious and comes out perfect every time. I have used Jonathan apples, honey crisp apples, and a combination of Jonathan apples plus pears. The only thing I would say is that if you are using juicier apples (like honey crisp), double the amount of flour in the fruit mixture to soak up more of that liquid. At 30 minutes, my apples were still pretty firm. So I go at least 40-45 minutes or cut the apples very thin so that they cook through faster. Also, I'm a cinnamon lover. So I add at least a tablespoon of cinnamon and sometimes a little in the topping as well. Thanks for this amazing recipe!
This is a delicious recipe as-is, but I love how versatile this recipe is. We have chickens and often have more eggs than we know what to do with, and it is an easy way to use lots of eggs quickly. I usually double the number of eggs. It makes it go farther. I use the cubed hash browns sometimes, and I almost always add more hash browns, because there aren't enough to go up the sides of my casserole dish at 3 cups. I'll do 4-5 cups and just pour the butter over them in the casserole dish. I didn't have enough cottage cheese today and did half cottage cheese and half sour cream. That actually worked really well. You can add mushrooms, diced green chiles or rotel, spicy cheeses, etc. to give it a different type of deliciousness. If you double the eggs, just add a bit more of everything else... doesn't need to be precise measurements, but if you like precise measurements, just 1.5 everything else.Great recipe!
This recipe was delicious, fast, and easy, and it leaves a lot of room for changes/additions based on taste.
Why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5: My family didn't care for the rosemary. It was too strong and made some bites kind of bitter. So next time we will maybe just add a teaspoon of that instead of two tablespoons.
Changes I made: I didn't have refrigerated biscuits. So I made my own homemade biscuits and used a pizza cutter to cut them into squares - which made the dumplings. That was a great addition, and we also added onion powder and garlic powder.
