Serving Tip
The aroma of warm apple and cinnamon makes this a classic — simple, nutritious, and pure. Serve in a small baking dish with a sprinkle of extra cinnamon or a sprig of mint on top. For a festive twist: add a spoonful of goat or sheep yogurt on the side.
Storage Tip
Store for up to 1 day in the refrigerator and briefly reheat in the oven or air fryer before serving.
