Last month, I told you about my little cooking day with Rebekah. We used a lot of blackberries and the recipes I came up with were a delicious fruit salad and savoury sauce, and some really-easy-to-eat-fast blackberry, white chocolate and almond rochers.
Having been both quite busy over the past few weeks, we did not get to meet for another cooking session but there was still a lovely theme to work with: apples.
Between processing and editing photos for a few clients, and working on my little photography business, I found a bit of time to come up with recipes using apples. The first I share here is for baked apples.

I have always been more fond of eating cooked apples rather than raw ones. And I also tend to only eat them in sweet dishes rather than savoury, my only exception being sauteed apple slices served with boudin noir (French black pudding). There is something so delicious about cooked apples melting in your mouth.
My mother makes some pretty good apple desserts (and a super delicious apple tart!). I particularly love her baked apples. When I came back from Australia, she gave me as a Christmas gift a lovely notebook with her own recipes beautifully calligraphed in purple ink. Only one quarter of the notebook was filled so I could add my own creations in it. When I looked for the baked apples recipe, I figured out my mother must have been daydreaming the day she wrote it (aren't we all food lovers and dreamers!) because she gave me a random list of ingredients but nothing else (all the other recipes are so detailed compared to this one).
So I just added some other flavours I wanted in my baked apples and came up with the rest of the recipe.
The following recipe is also quite delicious the next day for a healthy breakfast, but skip the butter and meringue (unless you are the kind of person who eats indulgent desserts for breakfast, then we should probably be friends!).
