Apple Shortbread
Warm apple shortbread can make your home smell inviting and satisfy your sweet cravings at the same time. Enjoy a slice with your favorite coffee, or, Ã la Mode. It also goes great with our Hot Mulled Apple Cider, too! The great thing about shortbread is you can enjoy it warm or serve it at room temperature. Either way, we think you’ll like this Apple Shortbread as much as we do!
Notes: Produces a more ‘cookie’ like texture than traditional shortbread cookies. We recommend using store bought dehydrated apples for their chewy texture.
