Stewed apple

I'm defrosting some stewed apple for tonight's dessert and wondered what I could do with it. I usually do crumble or Eve's pudding but was wondering if any of you have other suggestions.

Grated mozzarella

I have just found a recipe which uses GRATED mozzarella. How can you GRATE such a soft cheese? I often use it but slice it. Is there a hard version of this cheese?
