Original recipe serves 8. Current scale: 1x.
One of my childhooddays favourites! And I still do like this very fragrant, aromatic sweet pie/tarte like dish. Use apples (you might want to add more sugar then) instead of bananas, mangos or raisins. Serve lukewarm with vanilla sauce as main dish or as dessert.
