A savoury weekend treat and a sweet surprise

On my shopping list this weekend was a Pink Lady apple, which I hoped I'd be able to buy loose – wrong – I needed a large one for my treat to myself - beetroot relish and finished up buying four.

I'd also bought Pink Lady fruit juice for a change – not realising how handy it would be.

Here's what happened to the three I had left :


Baked Apples with sultanas and

optional sticky toffee sauce


ahead of the game take two handfuls of

sultanas – place in a box with a tight fitting

lid. Add 150ml of Pink Lady fruit juice,

fridge and steep overnight

Grease a dish that measures 25x17x5cms (10x7x2”)

with 1 tsp of unsalted butter

2 tbsp of soft dark brown sugar

½ tsp of vanilla bean paste

1 tsp of cinnamon – mix all three

ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl

3 Pink Lady apples – peeled, cored and

sliced and add to the sugar, paste and cinnamon

in the bowl together, add 1 tbsp of Pink Lady apple

juice from the steeping - mix well to combine then tip into your

greased dish


Bake for 30 minutes in a pre-heated oven 150fan/170c/Gas 3

turn after 15 minutes and set aside to cool, then cover.

Note : you want the apples to keep their shape, not turn

into mush
