Baked Apples with Cinnamon and Raisins
We have the most fantastic next door neighbors. Not only are they the
most easygoing and kind people, their yard is essentially a farm. I get a
phone call at least once a week asking me to come outside so they can
hand me a grocery bag full of sweet peaches, bushels of delicious beets or in the latest
case, a bag of perfectly gorgeous Fuji apples. The apples were like little
gems, sweet and crunchy, not too big or small. For me, there is
nothing like fruits and vegetables that you grow in your yard. This way you can be absolutely sure that there aren’t any harmful sprays or pesticides being
used. My neighbors grow their food like this and so do I.
Apples are not only a rich in vitamin C and an excellent source of
fiber, they’re also a favorite of Kenya’s. When he’s teething and
doesn’t feel like having to chew, this recipe comes in handy because the apples get really soft. It is
a real winner with him. When the apple bakes, the flavor intensifies giving it
almost a caramel flavor. A perfect dessert for your little one.
