Hi There, This recipe has become a staple in our home. I've made copies and handed it out to "The girls" at Thursday breakfast. Minor adjustments: lots more garlic, red pepper instead of green, more cumin, usually add a can of creamed corn and sometimes I'll add chick peas. This recipe is easy, inexpensive and makes for great leftovers. Serving this with a tasty grain makes for a meal with a "Complete protein". As being a new family of vegetarians, this is a great fallback recipe which we all enjoy. Even the teenage boys! Thanks again, Jesse

Thanks for the corn syrup alternative. I always made pecan pie (at holidays) for my husband because he needed it for memories' sake. But the thought of all that corn syrup made me sick just to imagine eating it. This recipe seemed so healthy; to use natural ingredients and no shortening to boot! This is not a low fat dessert though. But If you've got to have pecan pie on the menu; this is the one to go with.

Hi There, Thanks for this recipe. It was nice to be able to use the apples from the tree in our yard. The kids loved that aspect. A few changes: When sugar was called for I used half of what is in the recipe. I only had one package of creamed cheese but I did have a package of if (I think it's called) Neufamulch cheese. Well, anyway it has the same texture as creamed cheese and the torte had a little Italian flair to it. Next time I will use this cheese as well. I reserved a handful of perfect looking slices to make a swirl pattern on the top and the rest I roughly chopped up and pressed into the filling. My husband loved the idea of using a spring form pan; neat slices!! This one is a keeper!!!
