Apple cream slice

Hello again.

as a change from a sewing report, I thought I'd share a recipe given to me today by one of my friends at work, Melissa.

She made this gorgeous Apple Cream Slice & brought it in to share, & it was so yummy, that we all begged her to shared the recipe.

So when I got home this arvo, what did I find in my in-box, but the said recipe, sent to me from Melissa!
Thank you Melissa!

As Melissa was happy to share, I thought I'd pass it on to my sewing friends (with appropriate US/UK conversions) - enjoy!
