Hey.. finally made this recipe yesterday after bookmarking it umm.. well over a year ago. SO So good. But did anyone else feel like the cinnamon needs to be upped a bit? I added 1/2 tsp but still felt it was a bit mild.. maybe add some to the crumb topping too?

I reckon another apple will be fine. Just might increase baking time because of increase in moisture…

Thank you for responding! One other quick question, will it offset the recipe too much by adding more apples?
