Apple desserts
Apple desserts feature a delightful combination of sweet, tart, and often warming spice notes that pair beautifully with dessert wines offering complementary or contrasting sweetness. The fruity character and moderate acidity in apple desserts create a natural bridge to wines with honeyed characteristics and beers with malty sweetness or fruit-forward profiles.
