One For The Sweet In Your Life

Whether it's your partner, family or even yourself why not indulge this weekend with these homemade treats? 
Honey and Apple Cranach 


All you need is the following key ingredients:


1kg baking apples, make sure you peel, core and cube them


3tbsp running honey

2 pots Cane Sugar porridge

2-3 tbsp demerara sugar (depending on how sweet you like it)


240ml double cream

150ml natural yoghurt

What to do:

Start by cooking the apples in a very small amount of water until they are soft and you're able to mash them until smooth with the honey, then allow to cool.  

Then gently toast the oats in a dry frying pan until they are a golden colour. Allow them to cool and then mix them with the demerara sugar, once mix, then whip the cream until it is thick and fold in the yoghurt. 

In a large glass dish or whatever you would like to serve them in, layer some of the apples into the bottom of the glass and sprinkle some of the oats over them, then spoon in some of the cream mixture. You should repeat this in layers until all of the mixture had been used, finishing with a layer of cream. 

Before you should serve these allow them to cool, then sprinkle over a little more of the demerara sugar. And the added bonus? There isn't even that much washing up to do!
