For a richer flavor, use a combination of butter and shortening in the topping. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream. Feel free to experiment with different apple varieties. A mix of tart and sweet apples works well. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apple mixture for extra warmth.

Jun 25, 2025The syrup was a little too thin for my liking, so next time I will simmer it for a few more minutes to thicken it up.
