In the early 80's, a group of specialists in marketing for McDonald's came to an establishment and asked him what was that little box to hear his explanation, they suggested it be presented at the annual convention made ​​by the company. To which she replied: "Oh no, how can I go with my hamburgers and toy."

In desserts

One of them, apparently Stéphanie, the eldest, cooked apples more than necessary and not to waste them, the sisters would put the pasta on top, turning the cake at the end.

Place the filling (apple sauce, sugar, raisins, cinnamon ...), rolled into a cylinder of several layers of dough and baked.
