Pretty much anything that involves bits of baked apples and a sprinkle or two of cinnamon. You can imagine, then, his affinity for these easy apple turnovers. He’s a fan.

Correct me if I’m wrong here, okay? But when it comes down to it, there are very few things in this life that are not made better by a dollop of whipped cream. Am I right or am I right?
