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
2-3 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!

The Healthy Bake Off

As we have already established many a times, baking doesn't have to just be unhealthy. We have a few tips that can turn your baking into healthy baking.

1. Possibly the most important tip of all... switch your flour for oats. Or you could even mix the both together to boost your fibre intake and lower the glycaemic index, which means that it will release the energy slowly through out the day.

2. you can also replace sugar by adding bits of dried fruit rather than sugar to your recipe  it will help you to increaseyoyur levels of fibre, vitamins ans also minerals.

3. Last but by no means least, to cut down fat and calories you should use cocoa powder if you are making a chocolate based recipe.

We are sure that these healthy tips will come in handy at some point, and if you think of it like this then you can eat more and not feel as guilty, sounds go hey!
