Final Comments
This is a great recipe a la mode meaning with a side scoop of vanilla ice cream...Peaches or mixed berries can be substituted for the apples. In that case you could substitute peach or berry flavored brandy, and the cinnamon would be omitted. White sugar can be used with the fruit if desired. ....ENJOY!!
