I've kind of fallen behind in the Recipe of the Week posting, but fear not, it's for good reasons. Look for a new recipe pack soon, and a post about my pursuit of great thin crust pizza recipes.

Apples are plentiful in the winter months and are, therefore, a good winter-time dessert which is both healthy and tasty. -- EclecticCooking.com

Ingredients:

4 apples e.g. belle de boskop
Ca. 30 g (1 oz) butter
4-6 Tbsp sugar
100 g (ca. 3 oz) blanched, slivered almonds
2 Tbsp flour
2 Tbsp milk
Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven at 225C (430F) Cut the apples in half, core them then cut them in fairly thin slices. Butter the bottom of a ceramic flan dish and spread the apples over the base of the flan.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter, add the sugar, flour and milk and cook gently until smooth, add the almonds and stir through. Top the apples with the batter. Bake in the oven at 225C (430 F) for about 20 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. Server warm plain or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
