Mama's recipe lives on

One of the girls just got back from a family trip to Maui and raved about Sansei's "Granny Smith" Apple Tart. 

The combination of the flaky crust, thinly sliced apples on top, homemade warm caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream was amazing! It's also sprinkled with cinnamon. Yummy!

The dessert is baked to order and the recipe of chef/owner DK Kodama's mother,  Sandy, who passed away about two and a half years ago. 

"All the desserts come from her," said Chef Kaipo, the executive chef of Sansei at the Kapalua Resort. "Everyone called her Mom Kodama." 

The caramel sauce was one of Mom Kodama's special recipes and tasted incredible.
