What we thought:
"It took quite a lot of work, but it was worth it!"
"They're quite chewy, I think it's the apple"
"Ooh they're lovely!"
Marks out of ten?!
"8"
"Better than 8, 9 I think"
"Tasty but lots of grating 8"
Ohhh I'd have these (with just grated apple, I don't like big bits of cooked apple) warm with custard, yummy. Mmmm cinnamon, I love cinnamon!!
