Huguenot Torte image

This recipe from "The First Ladies Cook Book" appeared in The Times in an article by Craig Claiborne. The original recipe said that the torte could be served warm or chilled.I like it best warm and cut into squares. The torte has so much sticky sugar in it that when it's cold you have to do battle to cut it. Either way, I suggest adding little or no sugar to the accompanying whipped cream.In fact, I'd fold in some crème fraîche.

I'm not a huge fan of apples, but this torte was surprisingly good. The walnuts and spices really balanced out the sweetness of the apples. I would definitely make this again.

This Huguenot torte was a little too sweet for my taste, but the texture was great. I think I'll try making it again with less sugar next time.
