It's not a cake, it's not a crumble, it's not a cobbler or a slump – but it is warm and comforting and just what you want from your apple desserts, and with the scent of rosemary it's something a bit different.
Yield: 4 servings
dessert apples (not too sweet, but will hold their shape)
cup vanilla almond pancake mix
cup thick cream (the spooning sort, not the pouring sort)
Place a branch of fresh rosemary in an oven-proof dish. Peel and core dessert apples, cut them into 8ths and fit them into the dish on top of the rosemary. My dish takes 3 apples cut this way. Sprinkle the zest of a lemon and the wine (I was drinking sparkling white Burgundy at the time) and drizzle the maple syrup over.
Make a batter from 1 cup of Instant Vanilla and Almond Pancake Mix letting it down with the cream egg and a dash more vanilla.
Dab spoonfuls of the batter on to the apples. Bake at 180C for about 40 minutes until the top is golden and crusty. Serve with cream.
