The sensation of sweet and tangy warm apple with bits of crispy oats together with chilly creamy ice cream is just delightful…

This is a very simple recipe that can be literally place together in a blink…there is nothing exclusive in terms of ingredients…but the combination is just splendid. This dessert sure emphasizes that simple is good.
