FAQs
What apples work best?
Sweet-tart varieties like Honeycrisp or Gala hold up well and don’t get mushy.
Can I use apple cider instead of broth?
Try subbing half the broth with cider for an extra cozy twist.
Is the cinnamon too weird?
It’s subtle and adds warmth—not pumpkin spice latte vibes, promise.
