Hi

I was wondering what everyone is baking today.

Ive made a fruit cake, mincemeat brownies and cheese straws....what delicious delights are being baked in your house?

Having slipped off the OS bandwagon about March time, I have read this thread from start to finish and was inspired to put a batch of cookies in the oven.

Thanks for the reminder of how fun baking can be!

I've just pulled the most gorgeously smelly chocolatey muffins from the oven - must resist temptation until they've cooled down!

Hi has anyone any ideas what i can make with some apples i was kindly given. I have so far made LOADS of apple pies and apple crumbles and don't know what to do with the rest. They have been par cooked and frozen. Any tips would be gratefully accepted.

apple muffins, apple tart, apple sauce for pork, apple & butternut squash soup (yummy!!), give some to me in sympathy for burnt tongue as couldn't resist fresh-out-of-oven-temptation?

the apple muffins sound delicious Little Vics, thanks. However sorry to be a pain but do you have a recipee. Never made muffins in my life. is it just a basic sponge mixture? sorry to be thick.

Little_Vics

yup - I just make a basic cake recipe (4oz sugar, 4oz marge, 4oz flour, 2 eggs, bit of baking powder) and fold the apple mix into it. Gorgeous with a bit of cinnemon sprinkled in too.
