and it was a great success. Thank you so much Sand for this recipe.
I didn't use the nuts, because hubby's family is not a big nut fan. (It's so funny....hubby's family is so quirky when it comes to food. Everyone has their own things they will/won't eat. I think that's why I blended right in - and added other quirks! lol - with my EFI ways.  ) Next time I make it for us, I'm going to try it with the nuts. I also added the cinnamon, and kept everything else the same.
My MIL actually asked for the recipe. No one from hubby's family has EVER asked me for a recipe! I did good!
Also, it seemed to me more of a cofee cake than a pie. Is that what Norwegian apple pies are like? Just curious... 
BTW, as a bizarre sidenote here, I always read everyone's comments for any tips/suggestions before trying a recipe. I read in flat mode, and at the end was a post by Casey (atomic rose) with the subject Nope...I could't figure out what she was responding to, so went to threaded mode and it disappears! Isn't that weird?

You're quite welcome. I'm glad this went over so well, Melissa. And your MIL asking for the recipe - wow!
I wonder if the whole food quirk thing is a question on places like eHarmony:
True or False: I have a lot of food quirks.
True of False: Other people's food quirks drive me nuts.
If not, maybe it should be.

Hmm. I never thought about it like that. It doesn't have a distinct top and bottom crust - rather sort of crust all through - so I guess I can kind of see that.

I don't know. As far as I can remember my grandmother - who was actually from Norway - never made a pie - or a cake either. She made peanut butter cookies (call me crazy but I'm thinking that's not a traditional Norwegian dish); she made butterscotch pudding (I have her "from scratch" recipe although as she got older - she lived well into her 90s - she found the Jello brand package mix to be just fine); and she made the best rice pudding I have ever had in my life - that actually had what seems to be a Norwegian name (gooma - I have no idea if the spelling is right). Sadly, no recipe for her rice pudding has been passed down.

Oh, yeah. Casey's response seems to be missing its parent post. I have this vague memory of someone posting that they wanted to leave out the flour and Casey responding, but the post about leaving out the flour is missing. I guess in flat mode it doesn't matter but in threaded mode there's no parent post for Casey's response to be attached to.
I think there are some indexing oddities on the Board anyhow. I was looking at all the posts for someone - I'm pretty sure it was ShelbyJean - and they all said "*Deleted*" but a little later I was looking at a thread and there was a post by ShelbyJean that wasn't deleted - and wasn't in her list of posts.
I know there was some big Board problem quite a while back. I wonder if there was some data damage that didn't get completely fixed.
Anyhow, I'm really glad you liked the Norwegian Apple Pan Pie. I'll be visiting the woman who gave me the recipe in January and I'll be sure to let her know it was a big hit.
Have a very happy, healthy New Year!

This did seem coffee-cake-ish if I reduced the sugar. If I used the full amount of sugar, I had this yummy delicate crust on the top and then the warm oozy fruit layer underneath (which sounds kind of gross, but is good). I much prefer it with the full amount of sugar, even if it's a bit on the sweet side.

Hi Kree, I made your sweet and hearty veg. chili recipe and it was excellent! I added more chili powder (about 1 T), salt, and extra honey and it was still amazing. I am East Indian, so my taste buds are shot from Indian food and I can't taste anything non-Indian unless I increase the herbs or spices.
Anyway, just wanted to tell you that my extra picky cousin--a red meat eater--said it was great when she tried it. Great job!

I used 1 1/2 cups Grannny Smith apples, added some cinnamon and nutmeg. It disappeared in one day flat!

I made this again for New Year's Day dinner...my SIL asked me to bring it, so I got my first request! lol And, I managed to get a sliver for myself before it disappeared.
Thanks again Sand! And Happy New Year to you too!

Uh oh...Heather tried it. Could this recipe be featured in an upcoming newsletter? 
I've used Rome both times I've made it, but wanted to try the Granny Smith. That's what I normally use for apple pie. Glad it worked...I'll try that kind next time.
