If you’re from Uruguay (as I am) you’ll be looking to make anything with Dulce de Leche. If you can’t find imported dulce de leche from Uruguay or Argentina, you can use condensed milk (dulce de leche). And with apples being in season right now, this was a perfect combination for a warm pie. I would use less cinnamon more nutmeg but not by much. And top it off with French vanilla ice cream and a glass of Pinot Grigio any time of the day! Enjoy!
