Aeblegrod, also known as Danish applesauce, is a classic Scandinavian dessert typically served chilled. It is made by simmering peeled, cored, and cubed apples with a bit of water, white wine, and sugar until soft and falling apart. The mixture is then mashed until smooth and can be enjoyed as is or paired with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkling of cinnamon. Despite its simplistic nature, Aeblegrod is a comforting and satisfying dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
