Cinnamon apples

So quick and easy it's almost embarrassing but JJ (and I) love them.

Just peel and core a couple of eating apples, slice into wedges, sprinkle with cinnamon, put in a bowl and cover with cling film, pierce it once and cook for 1 min in the microwave, stir, cook for another 30 seconds-1 min until soft but not mush. Delicious.

I like them with ice cream, JJ with natural greek yogurt.
You can also bake the wedges in the oven in a dish with a couple of blobs of butter for a less slippy version. I prefer the nuked ones though.

Oat, cheese and apple scones

I got this recipe from Aitch's blog recipe section. - see link.

200g self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
50g buttter
50g fine oatmeal (I used readybreak as it was inthe cupboard)
1 tsp sugar
125g cheddar cut into small cubes
2 apples cut into small cubes
5-10 tbsp milk

Heat oven to 200 c
Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl.
Rub in the butter until it looks like breadcrumbs.
Stir in the oatmeal and sugar.
Add the cheese and apple.
Add the milk a bit at a time until it makes a stiff dough.
Pat out onto a floured board until about 2cm thick.
Cut into scones using a cutter or a knife (finer shape may be good for some LO's but JJ like the round ones!)
Bake on a greased tray for about 15-20 mins. It would have been nice to brush the top with milk or egg or something.

We enjoyed them spread with butter - enjoy!
