This goes into the 10-Star book for sure! My only regret is I cut the recipe in half. :) I made a couple of changes, using pear juice instead of apple, and subbed almond extract for the vanilla. I like that it has so little sugar and is not overly sweet. Thanks for this keeper!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My name is Sara. I live in Portland, OR and I work at a retirement community in the Wellness department. I love to cook! I occasionally do cooking demonstrations at work and typically have over 40 people! This is a lot considering I have no professional training, and I never really cooked at all until a few years after high school. I try to focus on cooking healthy foods, though I believe if you're going to indulge you might as well go all the way (case in point: Black Forest Cake)! I'm always looking for new and unusual recipes and my main source is the net, currently 'zaar. I've been more successful here than anywhere else! I also subscribe to Light & Tasty (part of Taste of Home) and I highly recommend that magazine, it really proves that you can eat healthy and enjoy it.
