Hey its got apples their healthy right :) My mother has been making this recipe since I was a little girl it is SOOOOOO good, and rather easy to make
Its great for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving
As children we [my sister and I] were allowed to pick one dessert from the night before [my family made the desserts] to eat for breakfast that next day. Without fail the French Apple Tart was the choice, although my mother now makes an amazing marzipan cake with chocolate almond icing thats amazing...The competition is getting fierce ENJOY
