This is quick pudding you can make when you think there is literally nothing in the fridge.
One reader tells me she is a baked apple purist, rubbing the skin with a little coconut oil and baking them with nothing but a cinnamon stick inside the core. These are slightly more decadent using butter, coconut sugar, dried fruit and spices. Delicious served with ice-cream, cream or yoghurt and leftovers work well with y0ghurt for breakfast.
What you need:
4 apples
80g butter
2 tbls coconut sugar
1/2 cup raisins or other dried fruits e.g. dates or apricots
1/2 teaspoon allspice/cinnamon
Method:
Preheat the oven to 190C.
Core your apples and insert small knob of butter into the bottom of each.
Mix some raisins (and/or other dried fruits) with a little coconut sugar, cinnamon/mixed spice and stuff the cores with the mixture.
Add another little knob of butter on top and bake for 20-40 minutes at 190c depending on the apple size.
These were smallish organic apples from Eat FRESH so only took 20 mins (and frankly felt a bit wasteful cooking them as they are soooo good raw...) but baked apples were my family's order...
Serve with cream or ice-cream.
Anyone do theirs differently in an interesting way? Let me know!
Serves 4.
