I tried this with Gala apples and Red Delicious apples, but feel free to use whatever you like. Depending on the sweetness of the apple, you might need a little less sugar. The smaller you chop your apples, the easier it will be to mash them. We personally prefer a chunkier texture. A simple dash of cinnamon can be added or even some orange or lemon zest. This tastes great cold or warm.
