I have been on a fruit kick for about two straight weeks now. I shared pain perdu with you last night. Well, for snack I had made quick baked apples- in the microwave!
Tasty! I had them warm right from the microwave over a little scoop of lactose free vanilla ice cream. Yea, they make lactose free ice cream now, and it's SO good.
These apples are so incredibly easy- just chop, stir, and microwave. The cooked mix can be easily frozen. Stir into oatmeal, serve over waffles, sprinkle with granola, add a scoop of ice cream- the possibilities are endless.
Here's to you and your culinary adventures, friends. Cheers!
