One Thing Leads to Another

I bought a couple of apples from Aldi the other weekend.  I was extremely disappointed when at least two of the apples I tried were bad.  
This morning, I was all set to return the rest of the apples if the one I tried was also bad.  

I sliced one apple.  

Lo and behold, the apple was perfect!

I don't know what came over me.  
Instead of eating the apple, I decided to make aebelskivers!


I ran out of apples and still had some batter left.  

I decided to put some blueberry jam inside the last three pieces.  

Oh my goodness!  What an awesome discovery!  


I had placed the blueberry-filled aebelskivers on the plate along with the regular aebelskivers.  When RD popped a blueberry one in his mouth this evening, he was over the moon and wished I had made more.

2 eggs, separated
2 cups buttermilk (or 2 c regular milk + 2 T vinegar)
