REVIEWS

This was delicious, not too sweet. I didn't use the butterscotch chips, instead I used butterscotch sauce on the top when served.

We just made this tonight and we used gluten free bread. It wasn't mushy but really flavorful, not overly sweet but sweet enough and a nice way to a cold evening. We also thought about chopping apples next time we make it.
