Aeblegrod, which translate to 'apple porridge', is a traditional Danish dessert that is both simple and delicious. The base of the dish is made from apples, which are cooked down into a smooth and creamy consistency. The addition of a small amount of sugar and white wine helps to balance the naturally tart flavor of the apples, resulting in a refreshing and healthful treat. Aeblegrod is perfect for those looking to satisfy their sweet tooth without indulging in a high sugar or calorie-laden dessert.

Instructions

1.	In a large pot, combine the cubed apples, water, white wine, and sugar.
2.	Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
3.	Cook until the apples are soft and mashable, about 10-15 minutes.
4.	Mash the apples until a smooth consistency is reached.
5.	Let cool before serving.
