The Story Behind Æbleskiver
Æbleskiver date to the 17th century and are deeply linked to Danish Christmas traditions. The special cast-iron pan has been passed down through generations. During December, Danes gather for æbleskiver parties with gløgg (mulled wine), making these golden spheres a symbol of hygge.
