Pâte de Fruit is one of my favorite candied to make at home. It’s fresh, fruity and delicious, and when I make it, it feels like I’m in Paris. It’s one of the most common desserts in Paris.
This apple Pâte de Fruit is sweet, melts in your mouth and so delicious. It’s perfect for Rosh Ha’Shana, gluten free and vegan.
