SO HOW'D IT GO?
The family wanted something sweet after dinner tonight and this was perfect. We used homemade raspberry plum jam. Wonderful. Definitely, place on top of a sheet because of the juices from the apple even when it is wrapped in foil. :)
We tried it with and without soy milk. If you like vanilla ice cream on your apple pies...then go for adding a little milk. Next time I might try vanilla almond milk.
This really hit the spot when I wanted something for dessert but didnt want anything overly sweet. Instead of jam, I put in peanut butter like other people suggested. Also, I took the tip and wrapped the apples in foil, which was great advice.
Thanks for the recipe! :)
This is a great recipe! I have a very picky partner so I did not use any jam. I subbed fresh cranberries and a little soy milk in the mix instead of jam. I also used oats instead of wheat germ and omitted the nutmeg cause I forgot it. It turned out great but I would suggest putting the foiled wrapped apples on a cookie sheet cause mine dripped a lot. The drippings burned onto the bottom of my oven and my kitchen filled with smoke, which was not so great lol. Thanks for the recipe!
