Aeblegrod, which translates to 'apple porridge', is a classic Danish dessert that is commonly served in the fall and winter months. It is made from simple ingredients, such as apples, water, and sugar, and can be whipped up in no time. Traditionally, Aeblegrod was a dessert option for those who were sick and couldn't eat solid foods. However, it has endured as a beloved dish in Denmark and around the world. Its sweet, spiced flavor is sure to be a hit with anyone who enjoys apples and desserts.

3.	Mash the apples with a potato masher or fork.
4.	Mix in the white wine and sugar.

PROS

Aeblegrod is a versatile dish.
