Lazy Yule Apples

Here is a lazy Yule apple recipe that builds on the essential ingredients of any tasty food: sugar, butter and crispiness!

Pycella's Lazy Yule apples

6 - 9 apples
100 g butter
100 g sugar
100 g almond flakes
2 tablespoons wheat flour
2 tablespoons milk
(cinnamon etc.)

Peel the apples (I used a sweet variety), remove the seeds and cut the apples into wedges. Place them into a buttered tray and prebake for 10-15 minutes at 200°C. Combine butter, sugar, almond flakes, flour and milk in a pot and heat it until the butter has melted, mix it well. You can add some Yule seasoning to the mixture (cinnamon should work well). When the apples have been prebaked, spread the mixture over them and bake for another 15 minutes (or until the topping looks nicely brown) at 220°C.

Tip: if you don't have enough almond flakes, like I did, you can use pine nuts too, or something similar.
