Apple dream tart suggestions

The recipe might be crust-less but the sugar still caramelizes and makes a golden brown crust on the outside. The apples are soft, sweet, and with less spices like cinnamon and allspice, doesn’t taste like the apple pie you know and love. However, a slice of this tasty pie can still go very well with a scoop of cream and ice cream. The tart is best served warm but can still be enjoyed when cooled down.
