Stewed Apples

Adults and kids alike love this dish. It can be used as a side, as a dessert, as breakfast or a topping! Easy to make as well!


You will need:

~cubed apples, 1 1/2 cup per mouth
~ cinnamon/ sugar
~*opt* fresh or canned peaches (my favorite addition)

In a sauce pan place apples and fill with water leaving 2/3 of the apples above the water. Turn on heat and let simmer until apples are soft and almost transparent. Drain off most of the water if there is a lot left and add cinnamon and sugar and peaches if you fancy them. This is a great topping for toast or oatmeal or waffles. Delicious on their own or with some warm milk or soy milk.

Pumpkin Apple Cider

I served this for a Holiday Party at the preschool I work in. It was a hit with adults and children alike!


You will need:
1 gallon apple juice or cider
4 oz pumpkin (paste form)
2 cups apple sauce
Tbl Allspice
Tbl cinnamon
1 apple, sliced thinly


In a large pot, large enough for all ingredients, place the 2 cups of the juice and whisk in the spices, the pumpkin and the applesauce. Add the rest of the juice in and heat on medium to medium high, do NOT let boil. Add in apple slices with the juice and let them infuse. Serve warm and stirred ( the pumpkin will settle), with an apple slice in each glass.
