Sometimes, you want to show your family how much you love them by making them something from the heart.
Sometimes you just need something easy.
Sometimes, you just want to make something that is going to come out of the oven.
This recipe is it.
A few weeks ago, I realized that Alara wasn’t eating her lunch properly. There had been a miscommunication, I had thought there was a set programme about what kind of snacks they were eating. There wasn’t, so the cake, that I had bought (oh the shame!) was getting eaten in the morning, and the fruit wasn’t.
The problem for me wasn’t only that the cake was getting eaten, and not the fruit, it was that the cake was filling her up, and then she wasn’t eating everything at lunch time, and then with no snack, after school she was starved.
I decided to make these for Alara’s morning snack. They have fruit, very little sugar, but they look sweet, so Alara loves them.
Here’s how you make them:
1 apple, cut into small chunks
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 sheet puff pastry
1/4 cup melted butter
Mix the apple, sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl.
Lay out the puff pastry, brush the melted butter over it.
Cover the puff pastry with the apple mixture.
Roll the puff pastry up into a log. Cut into 2cm slices.
Lay the slices on a cookie sheet lined with baking paper.
Bake at 180C until golden, about 10 minutes.
