Have a bite of fresh-out-of-the-oven apple pie, with a sipĀ of comforting hot apple cider. Maybe some sweet apple crumble with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. And how can I miss the sweet, smooth &Ā thick applesauce. mmMMmm….
This thick apple puree is delicious as a condiment or dessert, served warm or cold, as a fillingĀ or topping.
I would sneak to the fridge and scoop some when I have some sweets cravings. Keep this between you and me, ok?Ā Jacky doesn’t know about this…hehe~ š
