Notes

  • Applesauce can be replaced with another fruit sauce, such as peach
  • Jam that did not set properly works well and helps reduce food waste
  • One finely chopped apple can be added before baking for extra texture
  • Water glassed eggs can be used in place of fresh eggs
  • Serve warm with maple syrup or with milk poured over the top
