In the 70’s, my neighbor Cam, who was the best cook and would always bring us samples of her goodies, made these and brought them to us one night. I had forgot about them until I saw the recipe posted on JustAPinch.com…..they are just so different. Easy, even if you don’t like to make pie crust, you can do this, I promise….so great to take to dinners and have to serve company…the perfect way to begin your Fall season of apple recipes.
