Another marvelous brunch treat! This was another experiment that turned out to be extremely successful. I mean really, how can you go wrong with baked apples in anything? The main surprise is that this is made with polenta or cornmeal so it has a slight hint of sweet corn. Let this cinnamony, warm, treat soothe you soul and body as the temperature prepares to drop again. (I know it's not fair, I want spring!)
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp cinnamon(split in two)
- 3 tbsps date syrup (or honey/maple syrup)
- 1dash nutmeg
- 1 lemon juiced
- 3 apples chopped
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3 tbsps butter melted
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups organic polenta (cooked)
- 1 banana(or 1/4 cup applesauce)
- 1/2 cup walnuts (raisins would be good too)
Directions: Chop apples, place in slow cooker. Mix in 1/2 tbsp cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, date syrup and a dash of salt. Turn on low and cook for 4 hours until apples are tender.*Preheat oven to 375F. Mash polenta, banana, milk, eggs and butter together. Stir in baking soda, cinnamon, vanilla,and baked apples and walnuts. Pour into a 8x8 pan and bake for 45mins or until a knife comes out clean. Enjoy warm with a dollop of greek yogurt.
*you could skip the slowcooker steps if you want it just won't be as sweet and more chunky
