The perfect dessert

These are recipes that are flawless and irresistible! These are the desserts that you can OD on and get sick and won't even care! I can't even choose from among them, or rank them. In no particular order, my perfect desserts are:

Apple cake
RLB's PBJ cookies
ginger-sweet potato cheesecake bars with beurre noisette
apple pie with homemade crust
chocolate trifle (with adjustments)
caramel apple trifle
key lime sables

So, although I will not be baking as often as I had previously, whatever I bake will be graded pass or fail as a "perfect" item. As much as I like gianduja, the hazelnut blondies would not make the list, for me.

They are great for most people, since lots of people don't bake from scratch. But the butter is a very strong presence. I don't dislike that in a dessert, but I want to focus on the Gianduja. The blondie is not a complement, and therefore unnecessary.
