An friend who studied at Le Cordon Bleu in France and taught culinary arts to students at a local vocational center shared this recipe with me several years ago. It's a favorite and scores big at brunches or great at the water cooler. The best part is it's portable when so many of us are hurried in the mornings. You can walk and eat without a plate, ok maybe a napkin. I guarantee you will love it! I used dark brown sugar in this recipe so the topping is darker. I usually use light brown sugar.
