This was very yummy! This was the first year I had Chritmas dinner at my house and these were a hit! So good -
We ended up using this as a dessert because I forgot to put it on the table. I sprinkled with pecans while baking and topped with whipped cream. This was sweet and delicious! Probably would be good served over vanilla ice cream too! -
A deliciously flavoursome and really so very easy-to-make recipe which dwells in that mysterious hinterland between a side-dish and a dessert and could, I imagine, be served as either! I served this as a scrumptious side-dish with grilled chicken. I added about a 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg and a 1/4 teaspoon of allspice to what was an already delicious syrup. We all came back for a second helping, so I'll certainly be making this again. I used Granny Smith apples. Thank you, Evelyn, for sharing this wonderful recipe!

Hi Evenlyn, I am going to bring this side dish to our annual Christmas dinner feating ham. I hope it turns out well, and is enjoyed by everyone! I'll try & remember to report back after the holidays and let you know how it turned out. ~Sarah in Chicago, IL

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
