Natalie's own recipe

The other day, Natalie asked what baklava was. So I told her. And based on that description, she decided she wanted to make her own special desert. She was very specific in what she wanted to put in it and how she was going to make it. So, that evening, we followed her instructions:

Ingredients:
Half a pack of phyllo dough
A large pack of cook-and-serve vanilla pudding
2/3 glass of caramel topping
one apple, sliced
one pear, sliced
one banana, sliced
Frosting (icing made of confectioner's sugar, water, and red food coloring)

Procedure:
In a baking dish, put down in the following order:
Some sheets of phyllo dough
Pudding
Apple

Spray with cooking spray to brown the top
Bake 35 min at 350F.
Decorate with frosting.

The result:

Delicious!

We had it warm with some whipped topping.

And the next day we had some of it cold, also with the whipped topping. We couldn't decide which was better!

I'm really surprised at Natalie's first attempt at making up her own real recipe. She was so sure of what she wanted to do, and needed very little help. And the result really couldn't have turned out any better!
