Quick afters school treat?

Mary and I have been talking about apple recipes.

Doral and Anita shared their harvest with our home last week, and I have been busy baking with apples ever since. 

Does it look like I have put a dent in our stock?

Today's recipe turned into more of a science experiment. Mary used to make a microwaved baked apple for herself after school.

David and I gave it a go. Core an apple leaving the bottom on. Ours looked like a tiny red pumpkin by the time the stem and seeds were out.

Mix together 5 mL margarine, 15 mL brown sugar, and 2.5 mL cinnamon. Put in microwave for 5 minutes. I hope, dear reader, you are not taking notes.

We ended up with cinnamon toffee that hardened on the bottom of the bowl, a teeny tiny bit of applesauce, and some crispy edible apple skin.

Time to soak the dish, and try again, I think. Our home smells great but our bellies are not full.

We had better luck with our Apple Fritters. Although we have added some notes in our recipe book for modifying the recipe, we devored the whole batch on one sitting.
