To use, simply open the can and drain the syrup if desired. The apples can be eaten chilled or warmed. For a warm topping, gently heat the drained apples in a saucepan over medium heat until they reach your preferred temperature.

Their pre-sliced nature makes them easy to mix into other ingredients for a quick dessert or side.
