Apple Cream Torte

Before COVID hit, my son and I regularly visit the local library and enjoyed checking out books and magazines. I love to read and was hoping my son would too, so even if I’m tired, just came from work, running on fumes before picking him up from school, I try to make it a point to enjoy the library days we have.

This recipe is one that I saw while thumbing through a Sunset Magazine, waiting for my son to select his books to check out. I often snap photos of recipes and my phone has more than 10,000 pictures that I need to sift through soon. My Fuji apple tree has some ripe fruits right now and I remembered this recipe, and just had to try it!

Lovely flavors, easy to make and just delicious! This will be a regular dessert in my home! I hope you try it as apples are in season and tastes really good right now!
