I Could not wait for long to prepare it and finally made it . It can also be taken as a snack and its quick , simple and tastes delicious when its served along with whipped cream. I was preparing the same procedure of adding sliced Bread instead of apples before. It too tasted awesome. With apples it was the first time I prepared and it was superb hit.
