I added brown sugar on top and it was a very nice addition. I didn't have the best apples for this(red delicious), so it could have been sweeter for me. It was really good! I didn't shred the apples, I sort of diced them, but next time I might shred them. I also added some Jamaican Allspice, and used olive oil instead of coconut oil. I'll make this again sometime, for sure.
