This is a great dessert for the fall. It's like an apple pie a la mode without the crust and a lot quicker to make.

This was tasty and easy to prepare. Also relatively healthy, in the dessert realm. A healthy fix for a sweet tooth.

This was a great recipe. Very easy and fast. I suggest waiting till the very last min. to make this. I made it before dinner with some MacIntosh apples that needed to be used up (suggest using very fresh seasonal fruit. Mine got a little mushy but it was still tasty. Oh and use light brown or white sugar it might make it look a little better. Eye appeal and presentation is everything. Thanks
