RECIPES WITH APPLE BUTTER RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4 and grease a 1.5-litre baking dish with butter.
  2. Peel, core and chop the apples, then place in a pan with 50g of the sugar and 2 tablespoons of water.
  3. Cover and cook, stirring now and then, for 8 minutes, or until the apple breaks down. Spoon into your dish, leaving the excess liquid in the pan.
  4. Beat the eggs with the remaining 50g of sugar until fluffy, then stir in the vanilla extract, sift in the flour and spice and fold together.
  5. Pour the batter over the apples and bake for 30 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean from the sponge.
  6. Dust with icing sugar before serving. Delicious served hot with ice cream or custard.

Steps:

• 1. These biscuits are dead easy to make and perfect for a simple gift. If you fancy jazzing them up for Christmas, try using an orange in place of the lemons and add a pinch of cinnamon to your demerara – lovely and festive!
  2. Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in the egg until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the flour, lemon zest, baking powder and salt and mix until you have a ball of dough. Cover and place in the fridge for 2 hours, or until firm. Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until ½cm thick. Cut out shapes and place on a greaseproofed tray. Sprinkle with demerara sugar and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are light brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
