Sweet topping made from apples cooked with rum and a touch of yoghurt (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
maple syrup
'sweet topping' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'apples cooked with rum and a touch of yoghurt' is the wordplay.
'cooked with' indicates anagramming the letters (letters cooked into a new form).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a touch of' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'yoghurt' is 'y'.
'rum' after 'y' is 'yrum'.
'apples' mixed up with 'yrum' can make 'MAPLE SYRUP'.
'made from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for maple syrup that I've seen is " Sticky (Canadian?) foodstuff".)
