We do not often have desserts, except ice cream (NIce cream) or Alpro yogurt and fruit. But occasionally it is nice to have a treat, as it is Sunday today, there will be a roast dinner followed by a slightly naughty dessert.
Simple ingredients, 1 Bramble Apple, puff pastry, demerara sugar, lemon juice, flour, cinnamon and vanilla extract.
Peel the apple, quarter and core, then slice. Put in a bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice, this stops it going brown as well as adding a little sharpness. In a separate bowl, put 1/2 tablespoon of plain flour, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 50 gms of sugar. Mix, then add to the apples. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, using your hands, cover the apple pieces with the mixture. At this point, if you like them, add raisins or other dried fruit. (I love fruit, but I don’t like dried fruit)
Take a baking tray, either use Pure or other to grease it, or line it with baking paper. Roll out your pastry and lay on the tray, now put your apple slices down the middle. I zig zag them so they have room for cooking. Scrape any sugar mix left in the bowl and sprinkle over the apples. Fold one side of the pastry over, brush using plant milk, and fold the other side over. Seal the ends of the pastry. Turn it over, so the close is underneath and make a few small holes in the pastry.
Place into a hot oven, 160-180, and cook for about 20 minutes, leave to stand for a few minutes, then serve with Nice Cream or yogurt.
Enjoy.
Most of the calories in this will come from the pastry and the sugar. I think the above will feed 2 of us today and maybe one portion for some lucky persons lunch tomorrow….that will be me then. Based on that, approximately 250 calories a portion.
This dessert finished our Sunday roast off wonderfully.
Roast potatoes, Roast Parsnips, Sprouts, Garden Peas, Spinach and a mushroom burger, served with thick onion gravy, beetroot relish and corn relish. BOOM!
