so as i mentioned yesterday we are fasting that means no meat, no eggs, and no dairy....i am cheating and using butter-if the church ladies can have cream in their coffee i can so have butter in my food. our oldest son is big in to dessert(our kids dont have to fast since they are so young) and has been very upset that we dont have ice cream or pudding in the house so i came up with this on the fly while making dinner.
Fasting Apples
ingredients
4 gala apples (any good baking apple will do these are just my favorites and are almost always in the house)
1c granola
1/4c apple bits-left overs from coring/hollowing out the apples
1/4c raisins/craisins
1tsp almond extract
2-3Tbs honey
2Tbs butter flavored crisco (if you arent fasting use butter that is soft)
cinnamon to your taste i used about 1 tsp.
directions: preheat oven to 375
start by coring apples with a melon baller. i use the big end to get the core out then switch to the smaller end to scrape the sides to make a hollow big enough to hold 1/4-1/2c of filling.
once you have your apples ready set them aside keeping some of the apple insides to put in the filling. in a bowl add granola apple bits raisins extract crisco honey and cinnamon mix together. blend this well so the crisco mixes all throughout. once everything is blended scoop filling into apples and pack repeating with all apples until they are full. i put the leftover filling in the center of the pan.
sprinkle some extra cinnamon on the tops and bake for 25 minutes. allow these to cool some before serving as they will be molten hot. if you cant wait that long (very understandable) put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and enjoy.
this is a super simple and fast dessert made with mostly things that just happen to be in the house. and like most things i make it all started with what do i have that can be sweet and gooey. i hope you enjoy them. Kat
