Mix frosting ingredients and drizzle over cool top. This is so good. A slice with ice cream is heavenly. We finally have this down to an assembly to make it becasue it is so popular. NOTE: My MIL used to have an apple tree and made these every fall. We would still be eating them in the spring at Easter, so I know this recipe freezes a long time. She always got rave reviews for this one. from the Frozen Assets List - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
