Mock Baked "Apples" Directions
- Cut a zucchini lengthwise and peel (or leave the peel on if you prefer.)
- Cut it crosswise into ‘apple slices’ and de-seed if needed on larger zucchinis.
- Put slices in a bowl and drizzle with a little lemon juice.
- Stir in Walden Farms Apple Butter, and Allspice.
- Mix and spread out in dish.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with Walden caramel syrup if you like.
- Bake in oven at 350 degrees F for up to 30 minutes or until ‘apples’ are at desired tenderness.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon when done baking if desired. Enjoy!! (You might want to let it sit a bit to let the juices thicken.) It’s an experiment; make it to suit your taste!!
Notes
If you want to kick it up a bit, try adding some Walden Farms caramel syrup into the mixture.
I had it re-heated the morning after so it had time to marinate a bit which made it less juicy, it was amazing!!
