Aeblegrod is a classic Danish dessert that translates to 'apple pudding' in English. It is typically made by simmering apples in a sweet liquid until they are completely softened and then pureeing the mixture with a blender until it is smooth. This results in a delicious and naturally sweet applesauce that can be enjoyed as a snack or dessert. While the exact origins of the dish are unknown, it has been a popular Danish recipe for generations and is often served with a dollop of whipped cream or sprinkled with cinnamon for added flavor.

Instructions

1.	In a medium saucepan, combine the cubed apples and water.
2.	Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer until the apples are completely softened, stirring occasionally. This should take around 20 minutes.
3.	Add the white wine and sugar to the saucepan and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
4.	Continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes until the mixture has thickened.
5.	Allow the mixture to cool, then puree it with a blender until smooth.
6.	Serve chilled or at room temperature as desired.
