Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure the apples are thoroughly baked and soft before sieving. You can substitute the rum with apple juice or omit it for a non-alcoholic version. If you prefer a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apple puree. Using homemade whipped cream can elevate this dessert, making it lighter and more luxurious.
