To make the syrup all you have to do is boil down two cups of pomegranate juice. You will then coat the apples with the syrup along with some sugar and a little flour for thickening. The tart juice is just right with apples. I used Fiji but choose the ones that you like the best.
Once the apples are coated, I just made a biscuit type dough and dropped it on the top, sprinkled with some sugar and baked it.
When ready to serve, add whipped cream or ice cream and top with the pomegranate seeds. The cool crunch from the seeds with the warm gooey apples is the perfect contrast.
