Garfield: I love the smell of Cinnamon Apple in the
morning. It smells like victory.
The
world may think I am crazy, but nothing satisfies my heart more than a nice,
fancy, slightly elaborate dessert; a combination of warm and cold/ of sweet and savoury. My last
post may have been an overdose of puff pastry- all the excess that I tried to
make use of. But I didn’t stop there!
On this cold and
wintery night, while I was at it, celebrating with puff pastry, how could I not
make some dessert? Apart from the few Chocolat Twisties, I definitely
wanted to try something else. Since, I was also on the using up the excess
mode, I decided to use an apple that was screaming at me from the fridge. The Christmas spirit was
in the air, and I thought why not make something with some spices. I love the IPad
Baking App- someday I hope to try out the all the recipes. For anyone with an
ipad, you must download this app here.
I had seen the
chocolate filo parcels here, which looked very tempting. As always, since I didn’t have the filo pastry,
I decided to make Apple Pie parcels- with Puff pastry instead. Since I was in a
mood to celebrate, I even decided to make a dip as an accompaniment- a cinnamon
dip to celebrate the victory. The end product was magnificent, if I may say so
myself. Ak loved it, and so much so, we decided to call over the other AK (the
brother), to have a taste of this wonderful discovery. AK has always never
liked the apple pie that I have baked- primarily because of the crust. But this
time, He approved it too! So much so, that he wanted to take a doggy bag home for breakfast (alongwith some puff pastry wraps).
Overall, an
extremely gratifying meal to celebrate the victory!
p.s.
Feel Free to use the leftover dip as an accompaniment to other desserts, I
would recommend a brownie or if you are feeling lazy like me the next day, when
the parcels have run out- just pour over some chocos/cereal...to have a healthy
breakfast/dessert.
