Abundant, back-to-school, breezy, colorful, deciduous, golden, fireside and vibrantly unpredictable – these are all words that I use to descibe fall. In celebration of my favorite season, I made this Phyllo-Apple Tart. I used farm fresh Melick’s apples and a basic frozen dough from the store to make this amazingly tasty fall treat.
What’s your favorite season?
Enjoy!
