QUESTION: Apple buttercream torte recipe
I am looking for a recipe that doesn't seem to exist. It's possible this dessert was made up by my grandmother, or maybe her mother. I am hoping someone knows it and can share how to make it.
I was very young when my grandmother used to make it before she passed. There's no written recipe that i can find, but here's what I remember from years ago.
It looks like a round cake or a tall (think 3-4 inch tall) straight edge icebox torte, but I don't think it's baked, other than maybe the bottom.
Bottom layer is crunchy, has a pecan and toffee flavor and texture.
Middle layer is buttercream mixed with shredded apples, where the apples are predominant, and the buttercream is a binding.
Top is made of jello with decorative fruit inside. She'd use blueberries, wild strawberries, mango pieces, pear, banana slices, sometimes nothing. Top is basically whatever fruit in sweet jello.
Has anyone seen anything like that dessert and can share the recipe?
