    My husband made these for dinner tonight, it's a great combo of sweet and savory. The pepper cuts through the sauce just enough to keep it from tasting like dessert. This is one we'll be making regularly, I think we probably only spent 25-35 minutes total preparing and cooking, too. - 11/11/08

    I loved this! Quick and easy to make, and hits the spot when those sweet/spicy cravings of fall hit you. I didn't have tart apples so I used Fuji's and it was still wonderful. Will definitely make this again! - 10/21/08
