This dessert is a classic recipe and much appreciated by all. It doesn't require a lot of material (no dish needed) and its original rectangle shape makes it so easy to cut which makes it a perfect treat to share with the family on any occasion.
As in these other favorite recipe on my blog, like the rustic apple tart or in the popular Apple Pie recipe, the apples are cooked and give a very tasty and melting filling.
