A lighter take on Boston cream pie with a silky stovetop vanilla custard layered between cake rounds and dusted with powdered sugar instead of the usual chocolate ganache. Simple, elegant, and not overly sweet.

Very, very good. I used 1/2 semi sweet and 1/2 bittersweet - more of a sophisticated flavor. It was yummy. Stick to the milk chocolate or semi-sweet for the kids though. Besides a variety of fruit, I bought those little creme puffs in the freezer section - they were delicious dipped in the chocolate!

Chewy chocolate chip cookies made with applesauce instead of butter deliver all the flavor with a fraction of the fat and guilt.

Made this apple cake a while ago, and finally got the photos uploaded. The cake was moist and delicious. I used half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour to make it a bit healthier, reduced sugar to 1 1/2 cups, which was sweet enough for us. Also added 1/2 cup chopped pecans to the apples, and it was a great addition.
