Grace Amara Touches

  • Presentation tip: Serve in shallow bowls so the caramel sauce pools beautifully around the apples.

  • Make it festive: Add a dusting of powdered sugar or a light sprinkle of cinnamon just before serving.

  • For a lighter version: Use honey instead of brown sugar and skip the flour in the crumble.

“There’s a sweet comfort in simplicity — like the aroma of apples baking with cinnamon. May each warm spoonful remind you that grace can be found in even the smallest, most ordinary moments.”

With grace and peace,
