Notes
Serve warm, possibly with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, or powdered sugar. Store in an airtight container for up to three days at room temperature; refrigerate for a week or freeze for three months. Wrap tightly to prevent freezer burn. Optionally, add a pinch of lemon juice to the apples for freshness and to prevent browning.
