This is a quick and easy dessert for a cool evening which you can use with any kind of seasonal fruit. Apples work particularly well, I sometimes add some frozen berries to it or at the moment you could make it with apple and feijoas. The recipe comes from Annabel Langbein -I tend to use apples alot more these days ever since investing in my trusty apple peeler.
This little kitchen gadget has been a great find, my neighbour introduced me to it and I have since bought my own and several more as gifts. It is definitely NOT one of those use once and fling to the back of the cupboard gadgets. I use this regularly and it has been fantastic as a dessert substitute, my daughter will now happily eat an apple 'slinky' at the end of a meal!
Making stewed apple becomes a breeze too, this little machine peels, cores and slices in a flash so processing mass quantities of apples is effortless. I have seen them available in kitchen shops but I got mine online from:
