Apple Tart la Difference

 

 

A friend turned 86 yesterday and we "oldies" had a lovely birthday tea, what I enjoyed most was we just forgot about the calories, cholesterol and concentrated on enjoying our time together.  We had fun!

I posted the recipe on facebook and promised to share on the blog so here it is, easy economical and delicious.

 

APPLE TART LA DIFFERENCE

This is not a stodgy heavy dessert, when you make the topping it has the consistency of a pancake mixture so you pour it over the apples. 

30ml (2 tbs) butter

45ml (3 tbs) sugar

2 large eggs, beaten

90ml (6 tbs) flour

10ml (2 tsp) baking powder

pinch of salt

250ml (1 cup) milk

1 x 410g can apples

Sauce:

30ml (2 tbs) golden syrup

30ml (2 tbs) butter

 1. Beat butter and sugar until light and creamy.

2. Sift dry ingredients and add eggs alternatively to butter and sugar mixture.

3. Stir in milk mix well.

4. Lightly grease a heat resistant 20cm square dish.

5. Arrange apples in dish

6. Pour batter on top of apples

7. Bake at 200 celsius for 15 to 20 minutes

8. Melt syrup and butter to make a sauce and pour over the warm pudding.

Serves four

 

NOTE:

 

I doubled the recipe and used Granny Smith fresh apples which I stewed with a little brown sugar, cinnamon and raisins, gives that nice tangy taste.  You can use a can of apples but may find it a little bland in taste so do add sugar, cinnamon and raisins if you prefer.  Another variation but then it becomes expensive is chopped Brazil nuts, divine!!!

 

I also discovered flavoured maple syrup at Woollies which cost the same price as ordinary syrup so I used this and found it worked well.
