Apple Tapioca
The combination of fruit and tapioca is popular with many people. Peaches and apples, either fresh or canned, are used most often for this purpose. For this recipe, the apples should be somewhat sour, as there will then be more character to the dessert. Canned or fresh peaches or canned pineapple may be used in exactly the same way as apples. If canned fruit is used, not so much sugar nor baking in the oven will be necessary.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup pearl tapioca or ½ cup minute (instant) tapioca
