RECIPE REVIEWS
this one sounds really delicious... but I don't get how you put it all together... apples on the bottom ... then ?? :) Well just had a delicious german white wine.. maybe that blocks me up :) :) Look forward to hear from you take care Kolla
1 - nuts and 1 crust 2 - apples inside crust 3 - crust on top of apples when you turn out the pie, it is upsidedown, it looks almost like a pecan torte - you don't see the apples or crusts until it is cut
