Recently I have been cooking a majority of my fathers meals. He has some pretty extreme dietary needs and restrictions, so Have to modify recipes to suit his personal needs. This evening I made us baked apples for a late night snack.

The recipe was as follows:

4 large baking apples
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup currants or chopped raisins
1 Tbsp butter
3/4 cup boiling water

After I tailored the recipe, it looked like this:

4 large baking apples
1 tbsp blackstrap molasses
1 tbsp honey
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup chopped raisins
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp flax oil
3/4 cup boiling water

It doesnt always work out, but this one happened to come out amazingly well. 🍎

Feel free to share your current favorites.

It might help to add that the apples were stuffed, placed in the water, and baked for 30 minutes. The recipe asked for a pat of butter topping each but I used flax oil instead. The apples were basted after baking.

Clever adaptation. The molasses did not overpower? If diet allows it, use rum! Same base ... Lol

It tasted great to me, but I favor dark and bitter to plain sugary sweet flavors. The rum does sound good.

Don't forget to put horse in it, or its not authentic.
I'm plotting a cassoulet later in the week. Although I did soy some rabbits in the butchers window...
