I made these this morning. I was feeling lazy and skipped the streusel, but they were still really, really good - Adam ate 4 of them! Thanks for another great recipe!

When you say chopped apples, does that mean diced? Sorry, not too domestic! I was just wondering how finely chopped they need to be. Also, what type is best apple to use for cooking these and how many is usually needed to get 2 cups?
I think I may try these with a Rice Flour version. Hopefully they are GF adaptable! Sound yummy!

I answered you in email, but I'm going to answer here too, in case anyone else needs to know.
I figure by the time you peel 'em, core 'em, and chop 'em, 1 medium apple = approximately 1 cup. I halved the recipe, and I used 1 apple. I didn't really measure it, but just eyeballing it, it looked like about a cup to me.
I use Granny Smiths for baking, usually, but I'd say you can really use any variety you like. Grannies are typically used for baking because they're very crisp and tart.
I cut the apple into about 1/4" dice.
If you manage to make a rice flour version, be sure to post!! I'd love to know how they come out!

This is a lot like Heather's apple pumpkin bread. I like that one. It gets a little gooey on top. Casey can you compare the two?

I've never tried Heather's bread, because I don't even own her books. But I know Rachel has the cookbook; maybe she's tried them both. It's funny, I was thinking that these would be good baked as a bread too.

So I can't compare them for you. I agree though, this would be good as a bread too!
