One of the best ways to save money is to reduce food waste in your home. No reason to spend money on food that you toss in the trash because it went bad. I have talked about Piggy Back meals before, for creative ways to use the same ingredients for different meals. But what do you do when food is not as fresh as one would like, or been sitting to long. For example apples that have started to turn soft. I love to bite info a crisp juicy apple, but once they start to turn soft… I kind of turn into an apple snob and find myself selecting other fruit from the bowl.
Plus it does not help that my 1 year old son thinks anything “round” is a ball and loves to chuck my fruit across the kitchen… turning my apples brown and less than appetizing in a matter of seconds. So what is one to do…. gag down the apples, all in the name of saving money. Toss them in the trash when no one is looking? Well I have found these apples may not be good raw, but when baked are simply delicious!
I do not really follow a recipe, as each time I make them I tend to have different kinds or amounts of apples but here is the basic measurements.
- 4-6 apples (peeled, cored and diced)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/8 of a teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
