# Tips from hearthlykitchen:

01 -
  • It transforms ordinary ingredients into something that feels like a special treat
  • The sweet salty crunchy combination hits every craving at once
02 -
  • Lemon water prevents browning but changes the flavor so I skip it
  • The texture changes dramatically after an hour so serve immediately
03 -
  • Room temperature apples absorb the flavors better than cold ones
  • A squeeze bottle makes the drizzle look professional
