stewed apple and custard
a very small apple crumble

or do those require cooking apples (can't remember)

Just me and ds tonight so teeny tiny crumble would be fine!

Am totally useless about just throwing in a handful of this and a cup of that, so how much flour, butter & sugar for enough crumble for 1 1/2 apples
not sure i have teeny tiny oven proof dish....

Chop apples, add sultanas if you have any. Put in greased dish. Mix up a sponge mixture and top with that.

Make pancakes and then fry the sliced apples in a pan in butter to go with.

Just eat them?

tigana · 19/07/2008 18:54

Slice them really really thinly and bake in a v low oven on a greaseproof paper covered baking tray. voila, apple crisps.

www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/rhubarbcrumble_11396.shtml

will give you the proportions - i.e. 4 oz butter, 4 oz sugar, 7 oz flour - that's for 4 so just halve it.

Quite small apple pie, or apple crumble. Could add dried fruit, mincemeat etc to bulk the filling up if it looks paltry after stewing the apples.

Or, (if you have any baking powder to transform your plain flour into self raising flour) make apple buns:

rub butter into flour, add sugar, chop apples up finely (peel if you like but I don't and it's fine) and add to mix. Bind with an egg, or some milk to thickish sticky mixture so it's like rock buns. Drop in big dollops on greased baking tray, sprinkle with extra brown sugr for crunchy finish, bake at about 180 until golden.

And you can add dried fruit, a splash of orange juice, cinnamon, mixed spice or whatever to that one, too.

apple muffins for freezer?

apple sauce to go with yogurt - pud for tmw for yr little ones?

Apple pancakes for brekkie tmw?

That weird muesli that Jamie O makes where you grate apples into all the oaty stuff and leave it overnight...?

Lucifera · 22/07/2008 16:38

grated apple in muesli is nice!
or peel, core and slice apples thickly, saute in butter till soft, add a large spoonful of brown sugar and a sprinkling of cinnamon. V good with half a croissant or slice brioche loaf, toasted, and a scoop of vanilla icecream or some Greek yoghurt, creme fraiche etc.
before anyone asks, no I never have croissants or brioche loaf hanging around ... but maybe OP does.
