Sweet Stuffed Apple

Leftovers in the fridge ? This is one thing that bothers every housewife and if the quantity is less its all the more difficult to put up a dish. What did I have in my fridge, 2 apples, 4 mushrooms and a big question in my head what do I do with this, how do I cook them? My daughters would have said Aai eat the apples and keep the doctor away. But I had time on my hand and the desire to cook something innovative and a guinea pig for a husband who will relish it, I presume. So lets see where I started.

Ingredients:

• 2 red apples.
• 4 button mushrooms.
• 2 tbsp brown sugar.
• 1/4 tsp vanilla essence.
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
• 2 tbsp dark rum (optional).
• 1 tbsp raisins.
• 1 tsp olive oil +2tsp butter.

Method:

• Core the apples and make a small cup of the apple for stuffing.
• Apply lime juice to avoid discoloring.
• In a pan heat 1 tsp olive oil and 2 tsp butter.
• Add the apples shavings which we removed while coring the apples.
• Add chopped mushrooms and a pinch of salt.
• Stir fry for a minute.
• Add the cinnamon powder, rum and brown sugar mix and let it cook till the mushrooms are soft and the filling is dry, cool.
• Stuff the apple with the filling and bake at 180deg C  for 15 mins.
• Serve with cream or Vanilla Ice cream.
