"*Reviewed for Australian/New Zealand Forum Recipe September 2007* This slice was too easy to prepare. The walnuts and dates took about 5 minutes to process using my food processor-but pressed very easily into the baking dish. The apple topping was very quick and esy to make-also had a great blend of spices. Overall the slice was very moist and sweet-yummy with a little ice-cream. This slice could easily be made vegan if using a honey substitute such as sugar or rice syrup. Photo also to be posted. Thanks Perfect Pixie for another yummy gluten-free treat :)"
