      Just made these and they turned out great! I didn't have apple sauce on hand so I just mashed up a banana instead. Yummy!

      I loved this Two Tarts recipe and their site has recently been taken down! Do you happen to have the original recipe on hand or recall how you changed yours? Thanks!
