Sweet apple heart

Apples can also be baked on their own. Fruits prepared in this way retain most of the nutrients and are better absorbed. A dessert of baked apples and oatmeal is doubly healthy in this regard.

Finely chop the apple pulp and mix it with 3 tbsp. l. oatmeal, chopped dates, cinnamon and sugar to taste. Fill the apple “pots” with this mixture, place a slice of butter on top of each and bake in the oven for 15–20 minutes at 180 °C. This baked apple dessert is an excellent alternative to high-calorie baked goods.

Pour 180 milliliters of apple juice into a saucepan, add lemon juice, cinnamon and granulated sugar. Place the saucepan on the fire and heat to 127 degrees Celsius.

Pour the remaining apple juice, cornmeal and water into a large saucepan, stir and bring to the boil. Cook over low heat, stirring all the time.

Once a thick mass has formed, remove the pan from the heat and add dry gelatin and stir.

When the apple-lemon mixture has reached the desired temperature (127 degrees), remove it from the heat and pour it into the pan with the gelatin.

Send the pan to low heat and cook after boiling for another 30-45 minutes, during which time the mass will decrease by a third.
