Notes

For best results, choose apples that are firm and slightly tart, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, for a balanced flavor and texture. Adjust the amount of sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of your apples. Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cloves for additional warmth and depth of flavor.
