Enjoy the taste of apple pie anytime you want without having to worry about the pastry
You can add this apple-pie-inspired toast topping to any breakfast or brunch item; however, it’s perfect when warmed up and spooned on top of a hot piece of buttered toast on a weekend morning. You can also use it to fill crepes or top French toast. Easily double or triple to use up as many apples as you can.
