Mmmmm...

What do you do when you have weather like this...

and half a case of these?
You break out the old high school cookbook...
Peel, core and slice 10 apples...
Cook them for about 10 minutes with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/3 cup of water, then pop them in a pie plate...
Rub 3 tbsp of butter through 1 cup of plain flour, then add 3 tbsp of coconut and 3 tbsp of sugar. Sprinkle this mix over the apples...
and bake in a moderate oven until lightly browned.
Serve it hot with an accompaniment of your choice (we are partial to custard and vanilla whipped cream) and watch a family of five demolish it in 10 minutes!
Family of five / 10 apples = 2 apples per serve. 2 apples - that's gotta be healthy, right?

Like I said - Mmmmmmm.

This is sooooooo funny! I'm in Brisvegas too and my hubby made exactly that on Sunday for us. And demolished, it was !!!
PS - our Day to Day Cookery is in a million bits, but we still use it.

Do you feel healthier for eating those apples Karen? I know I do! I may do it again this week if the horrible weather continues... P
