I repeat, go run 5 miles....really, I'm not jokingButter, sugar, apples, and flaky pastry create sinful bliss. Be sure to line your springform pan with foil to catch the drips! While it’s baking, go run 5 miles, this isn’t on the Jenny Craig menu.

Directions

  1. Line the outside of a 9 inch springform pan with foil to catch drips.
