Baked apples are a classic way to use up seasonal Bramley apples. The addition of the crumble topping gives the soft, sweet apples a nice crunch. Spiced with cinnamon, this is a great combination of two childhood puds. Perfect served with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or splash of custard

If you don’t like raisins, try stuffing the apples with dried dates for an extra sticky sweet hit

Ingredients

6 eating apples, cored
50g sultanas
1tsp cinnamon
3tbsp plain flour
4tbsp demerara sugar
60g, hazlenuts
50g butter

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/gas mark 4.
Put the apples into a baking dish.
Mix together the sultanas and cinnamon and sprinkle into the apple holes. Pour a little cold water around the apples and bake for 30 minutes, until the skin is loose.
Put the flour, sugar and hazlenuts into a food processor and whizz until the nuts are coarse. Add the butter and whizz again until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
When the apples are ready, sprinkle with the crumble mix, pressing down. Bake again for 30 minutes.

Woman’s Weekly cookery editor Sue McMahon suggests cutting the tendons and trimming the fat from the pork before using it. If you want a hotter sauce, add garlic and chillies

Ingredients

2tsp vegetable oil
350g (12oz) piece of pork fillet, cut into chunks
1 onion, peeled and cut into wedges, leaves pulled apart
1 red or green pepper, deseeded and cut into chunks
Thumb-sized piece of fresh root ginger, peeled and finely sliced
1 cinnamon stick or 1tsp ground cinnamon
227g can pineapple rings in natural syrup (140g drained weight – reserve the syrup), each ring cut into 8 pieces
230g can plum tomatoes
1tbsp tomato ketchup
1tbsp vinegar, or more, to taste
½ chicken stock cube
1tsp flour or cornflour
About 2tbsp soy sauce, to taste

To serve:

200g (7oz) dried egg noodles
2 small heads pak choi, leaves separated and large ones chopped

Method

Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the pork for about 5 mins until browned on both sides. Take it out of the pan and set aside.
Add the onion, pepper, ginger and cinnamon to the pan and fry for 5 minutes. Add the pineapple, 3tbsp of the pineapple’s syrup, and the tomatoes, ketchup, vinegar, stock cube and 150ml (¼ pint) water. Bring to the boil, and then simmer for 10 mins to let the sauce thicken.
Put the pork back in the pan and simmer for another 5 mins. Mix the flour, or cornflour, with the rest of the syrup to make a paste, add to the pan and stir until thickened. Add the soy sauce, and more vinegar if needed, to taste.
Cook the noodles according to pack instructions, adding the pak choi to wilt. Serve with the sweet and sour pork. (Not suitable for freezing).

Eggnog Pancakes

What’s better than waking up to pancakes for the Holidays! I swapped out the milk in my whole wheat pancake recipe and replaced it with Silk Nog and some extra nutmeg for a fun Holiday twist.

Why Silk nog? I checked the labels of all the eggnogs available in the supermarket, and Silk Nog had the cleanest ingredients, and only 90 calories per serving. It’s also non-GMO, and perfect if you are lactose intolerant. If you like another brand of light eggnog, you can certainly use it in it’s place. I topped mine with a little honey and powdered sugar, but you can use maple, agave or your favorite toppings.

Today I am giving away this cute Holiday pancake set from Nordic, available at Target^[1], so head on over to Skinny Bits^[2] for a chance to win!

If Eggnog is not your thing, check out these other fabulous pancake recipes:
