Aeblegrod, or Danish applesauce, is a classic Danish dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a simple, unassuming dish, made with just four ingredients: apples, water, white wine and sugar. The apples are cooked on the stove until they are soft and mushy, and then sieved to remove the skin and seeds. The puree is then returned to the pot and simmered with sugar and white wine until it thickens to a porridge-like consistency. The result is a smooth, creamy and tangy dessert that is delicious served hot or cold.
