    Stuffed Baked Apples

    Did you know yesterday was the first day of Fall? Well, at least in some part of the world! We just celebrated Spring Down Under! Honestly, it's been feeling like Spring for a month or so, with lots of sunny and warm days, but it doesn't prevent me from using my oven just yet. Summer will probably be a different story with an average temperature of 100F and an apartment with no A/C! In the meantime, I feel like cooking both Spring and Fall recipes, as Fall cooking and baking is all over the Internet right now!

    Since we moved to Australia, cooking with the seasons has been something I've really struggled with. Most of my readers are Americans and Europeans, and when you mostly crave warm comfort food, all I can think of is cool off with an iced tea and a frozen treat. The thing is, I always want to try some recipes I discover on various blogs and that's how we end up eating soup in the middle of summer (true story!). Needless to say, Solal wasn't too happy about that! I really like this time of year, from the end of 'your' summer until the middle of 'your' fall because I don't feel too disconnected. I can post popsicles recipes and not eating them wrapped up in a blanket and I don't need to be in underwear to bake. These Stuffed Baked Apples are the perfect way to celebrate Fall - and just enjoy a delicious dessert!

      The whole southern hemisphere thing always blows my mind. I just can't grasp the concept of Christmas in summer. Does! Not! Compute! These apples are absolutely gorgeous--I want one now!

        I'm glad you like them! But seriously, how can you bake and drink coffee when it's sooo hot?!

          zucchini squash season is in the summer!!! 😉 and i love baked squash, i will eat two of the biggest squash ever seen in one sitting ... here's how i make it:

          wash the zucchini, cut off the corners, slice in circles (between a quarter-inch and a half-inch thick)

          place onto baking tray in canola oil, top with black pepper and either oregano or basil, then apply either a drop of olive oil or a pinkie nail-sized piece of butter to each piece ... sometimes i add a bit of garlic

          preheat oven at 350, bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes or so, a little longer for crispy, remove and place on a paper towel-covered plate, allowing some of the oil to drain onto the paper towel.

          then munch out! ... i love it!

      You would likely need to core the apples first before slicing?

        Yes, you need to core them before. It's written in the ingredients list, sorry if that wasn't clear!
