You can have apple pie anytime when you don’t need to worry about the pastry part!
You can add this apple pie-inspired toast topping to any breakfast or brunch item, really. 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!
