Two different kinds of apples are mashed up into goop. Add citrus zing from grapefruit juice and zest. The slightest hint of cardamom adds intrigue and warmth, and vanilla rounds it all out into a bright and zingy sauce. The end result is a total hit–all at once, it is is smooth, vibrant, and juicy. Perfect for all those freshly picked apples.
