Guys, I’m so obsessed with this tart and I know that you will be too! I only make a cake or pie when I know that I have a crowd to serve it to.  My husband and I would happily devour it ourselves, but our waistlines would not like that.  So when the holiday hosting season kicks in, I’m excited to try some new desserts.
