"This recipe comes from the Salishan Lodge on the Oregon coast. The chef graciously shared the recipe with me when I asked. It is always a big hit when I serve it, usually when we have company."

I actually worked there 18 years ago. I love these. I had been looking for the recipe to these for a while. Thanks for sharing these. I also like to top this with apple butter.
