Apple Casserole Recipe
I think a dessert is made so much sweeter with the addition of fruit. Take a flourless chocolate cake I tasted the other day. It was chocolate packed upon chocolate, and so rich my teeth hurt after eating it! The top of the cake, however, was piled high with whipped cream and beautiful Concord grapes that served as a welcome break from the heavy chocolate base. The grapes took the chocolate cake to the next level.
In the fall, my favorite fruit to use is the apple. It can be used in salads, as a garnish for meat dishes, as a snack on its own, or as the star of a quick and simple dessert. The Granny Smith apple takes the lead in this sweet casserole with cinnamon and a buttery crumble topping.
