I don't understand, am I making this in one pot or in a two level steamer? Raisins go in with the steam water and the apples go in the steamer basket? Or it all goes in the pot and cooks, not steams for however long it takes to get soft apples? Either way the water gets included or is drained?

All ingredients are together in one pot. It should not be necessary to drain the water.

The recipe doesn't specify size or kind of apple. I used 4.5 lbs of Fuji apples (before coring & peeling); my eight apples were pretty good size. I increased walnuts to 3/4 cup and water to 2/3 cup (the quantity of apples seemed a lot to steam with only 1/4 cup. I increased steaming time from 7 minutes to 30 minutes. I used an enamel cast iron pot and it took that long for the quantity of apples to get steamed. Prep time is greater than 12 minutes! This was not too much water for the quantity of apples I used. The water was absorbed by the time I mixed in other ingredients. It was delicious warm but it was even better after sitting several hours.

Pretty good...
I used a bit too much water to steam the apples longer, but then added some oatmeal. It took me more than 12 minutes. I guess I'm a bit slow at peeling, coring and chopping apples.

I made a variation of this by adding in a large butternut squash, cubed and steamed, along with the apples and doubling all of the other ingredients, as well as a bit of nutmeg. It was absolutely fabulous!

We really liked this recipe, however would recommend steaming for a little longer than 7 minutes if you prefer a softer apple. Seven minutes on low using a combination of Granny Smith, Jona Gold and Gala apples resulted in rather firm apples. Great taste and very easy to make.

As others have said, it's a very simple recipe and tastes like apple pie without the crust. I added a bit more cinnamon.

I brought this to a group of non-ETL people on "pie night". I called it apple pie without crust. I really liked it and would make it again.
