Made a few changes, and I got a much healthier but super moist and delicious fresh apple cake (see the linked recipe below). I love making everything healthier without losing great flavor and texture, desserts are definitely one of them, especially I have such a sweet tooth :)

A decadently delicious coconut cream pie highlights the coconut. The custard filling is made with half and half, and egg yolks. It's creamy and rich, which goes deliciously well with the coconut. Meringue topping adds another layer of creaminess without adding any more fat. Nobody can resist it!
