I brought some of my homemade applesauce to work and a coworker made this. It was so good served with vanilla bean ice cream! Really wonderful. Thank you for posting this!

This is a fantastically easy recipe, and gorgeous to eat. As a newbie cook this was a no fuss recipe - I reduced the sugar a bit (DH doesn't have my sweet tooth) but otherwise followed it exactly and was rewarded with a delicious dessert. Served it with low-fat custard so minimal guilt when eating!
