Apple cookies

Sometimes I end up buying things that I don't like...one of such things is apples. I hate raw apple and stewed apples are so boring. I had some 6 apples at home. Didn’t want to throw them away or I want to juice them... How to use them was a big question. So my friend suggested Apple cookies. Here is to you Prachi!!

Here is what you need:

• ¾ cup grated Apple 

• 1 cups All-Purpose Flour 

• 1/3 cup light brown Sugar 

• 1/2 cup butter

• 1 tablespoon ground almond

• 1/4 cup corn flour

And here is how you go about what to do with ingredients

• Combine all ingredients into a smooth dough

• Roll out the dough to 1/2" thickness.

• Cut the cookies into desired shape

• preheat the oven at 200 degrees C for 8 mins

• Bake the cookies for about 10-12 mins at 190 degrees till they are just cooked or golden brown

 

Banana cake

So What do you do when you have very ripe bananas and no one is willing to finish them off??? I wondered and wondered. Didn't want to indulge in cake and stuff but then came across a recipe which used less oil and less sugar. hmmmmm.....Interesting :-)

So I set myself up for not more then 8 mins for this job and voila the result is below. Of Course it doesn't include the baking time.

What you need is a cup of All Purpose flour i e maida, 1 tbsp  olive oil,3 very ripe bananas,demerara sugar about 1/4 cup or as sweet as you like, 1 heaped tsp of baking powder and 2 small pinches of baking soda

Sieve APF,Baking powder and soda twice. Setup your blender, put sugar,oil, peeled bananas all in the blender. Blend for 3-4 mins or till the mixture is very fluffy.To this fluffy mixture add the dry ingredients in batches. I did 2 batch and keep whipping.

Mixture has to be smooth and pouring consistency. Add milk if need be and blend.

In the meantime preheat the oven for 10 mins at 200 degrees.

Prepare the cake tin.

Add the mixture to prepared tin and bake for about 20 mins at 190 degrees. Result will be as below:

Not glamorous enough? dust it with icing sugar.

Better now? gorge on gorgeous guitfree :-)
