Ideas to play with

Twists and variations to try. Suggestions, not hers.

  • Gingersnap topping

    Sprinkle crushed gingersnaps over each serving with the whipped cream.

  • Caramel

    Drizzle with caramel sauce, like the one with the Apple Cake.

  • Maple

    Swap the sugar for maple syrup and add a pinch of salt.

  • Thanksgiving helper

    It frees up the oven on the holiday. Start it in the slow cooker 3 hours before dessert.
