apple torte for a warm fall dessert

Apple torte is my go-to dessert in a pinch. It takes only a few minutes to prepare, and I usually have all the ingredients on hand. The result is a chewy apple-and-walnut combo resting beneath a crispy crust. There are lots of fussier recipes out there, but why complicate something so simply delicious? As my mom’s vintage recipe card suggests, this torte is exquisite with vanilla ice cream—and serving it when still slightly warm puts it completely over the top.
