I read someone else's recipe once that added the apple pie and deleted the custard. They said they felt there was no custard in it because it never got dark. Made sense to me. I had tried so many variations of DIY DLLT and none hit the mark until this one. It is the apple pie that gives it that crunchy crust taste. You do not taste the apple. Hope you like it as much as I do. Friends tell me it is better than the OG.
I do not use sweetener in mine. I detest the use of too much sweetener and I think this is fine without it. For those that use sweetener use what you want but try it first with none :)
