Apple And Ginger Squares

---

This recipe came from a culinary arts teacher in london. She gave a piece of the dessert to my mother to sample, along with the recipe. That was back in the early 1970's, and i'm still making it today! I still have the yellowed paper that the recipe was typed on!) if you don't have golden syrup (a british product), maple syrup or honey can be used instead.
