Apple Atole (Atole de Manzana)
Atole is a traditional Mexican drink dating back to pre-Hispanic times, made by thickening water or milk with corn masa and sweetened with piloncillo (or sugar). I put a fun fall twist on the classic recipe by adding apples and using corn milk! It's so warm and comforting with every sip, and takes me back to my childhood! Provecho amigos!
