Emily: I would make it with a lot less dairy and add even more apple flavor to it by using apple juice instead of milk, apple sauce instead of yogurt. For the icing, I'd just use either orange juice or apple juice again. and maybe add some extra cinnamon to mix with the powdered sugar for a glaze. Thanks for the inspiration! Date: 2022-11-09
