Do you make your own dried apples or purchase.
Need info on either.😉
I typically purchase them rather than make them.
This is a great recipe! I have made it as written and then recently swapped out the apples for dried mango and molded them into little cups which I then filled with marscapone cheese and topped with fresh berries and kiwi. Yum!
wow sounds amazing!
