Recipe tip
- For a low FODMAP version, replace apple with mashed banana.
- For a low salicylate, amine and glutamate version, replace grated apple and carrot with a similar quantity of diced pears and omit cinnamon.
- Use pure vanilla essence as imitation vanilla essence usually contains food additives.
