Since my daughter moved out and started living independently, our family’s consumption of Fruit dropped. I found some Apples turning wrinkly and spongy again. I stewed them, but no one was eating the stewed Apple. Today I made them into this dessert using Cream Cheese that was also getting old and I needed to use. This dessert was a genius idea.
