Tomorrow's Baked Good



These are very crumbly. I have sliced them, but won't take any more of them out of the pan until tomorrow, after they have been in the freezer overnight. I am puzzled about the recipe's assertion that the yield is two and a half dozen. The portions would have to be unmanageably small. The taste of the filling resembles mincemeat, This photo is with my new camera. The jpeg file is ten times as many bytes as photos with the older camera.
