Yummy yummy! This was so good I've been snacking on it since I made it. (I couldn't even resist taking a piece out before the picture!) This was so easy to make and so much fun to flambe. I will definitely make this again!

This was super yummy!! I made it up ahead of time and baked it just about 15 minutes before dinner. I used granny smiths and added a little more sugar. I might try and add some spice to it next time, too. I used apple juice instead of the brandy. Thanks, 2Bleu!!
