In the conditions of the frantic pace of modern life, combined with little-useful environmental factors, dessert should be, firstly, fast-cooking, secondly, without complex culinary manipulations, and, thirdly, from ingredients that are most beneficial to the body. All these conditions are met by a baked pumpkin with apples in the oven. By itself, this vegetable in traditional cooking is not liked by many. But after the oven, and with nice additions, it goes with a bang for everyone.

Baked pumpkin in the oven with apples: cooking recipe

The golden vegetable is peeled from the outer crust and seeds and randomly cut - it can be cubes, it can be slices. If you prefer soft baked pumpkin with apples in the oven, it is better to choose plates no thicker than one and a half centimeters. If you prefer elastic pulp, stop at the cubes. Apples are cut into slices and sprinkled with lemon to prevent browning. Core ratiocomponents are up to you. First, the pumpkin is evenly laid out in a greased form, apple slices are placed on it. From above, the dessert is poured with liquid honey (it can be warmed up a little if it is sugared) and put in the oven for 20-40 minutes. The length of exposure is greatly affected by the thickness of the pieces. All! You can pamper yourself and your family.

Fantasy on the theme

Such a pumpkin in the oven (pieces) with apples can be varied in taste in very different ways. For example, two apple layers can be made, and orange circles can be laid between them. Or you can sprinkle the dish with grated cheese almost before it is ready and return it to the oven for ten minutes.

Very interesting is the option in which honey is deleted from the list of components: fruits and vegetables are baked, slightly sprinkled with sugar to give juice, and when served, they are poured with melted white or dark chocolate.

Almost indispensable companions of apples and pumpkins in this dessert are various nuts: they make it even more he althy, fragrant and tasty.

Some housewives advise diluting honey with sour cream: about 3-4 tablespoons per glass of fermented milk product. They say this makes the dessert more juicy and cooks faster.

Pumpkin pot

You can also cook apples with pumpkin baked in the oven. The recipe offered by us is unusual, original and gives a very tasty result. To implement it, you will need a small pumpkin-guitar of an elongated, not round shape. In preparatory workincluded:

• boiling three tablespoons of basmati until half done;
• steam a spoonful of raisins until soft and drain;
• chopping four apples into strips;
• slicing plums (take 1 cup);
• lightly dry roast chopped almonds (a couple of spoons).

Now let's do the pumpkin. It is cut lengthwise, the seeds are removed, and the pulp is carefully cut out so that its centimeter and a half remain along the walls. It is cut into pieces and combined with the rest of the prepared products, plus a little cinnamon, one hundred grams of soft butter and a couple of tablespoons of sugar. Halves of pumpkin are filled with this "minced meat", placed on a greased baking sheet and put into the oven for one and a half to two hours. Before serving, this baked pumpkin with apples in the oven is divided into 5-6 slices and drizzled with melted butter.

Sweet sandwich

If you are not too lazy to do simple additional manipulations, this dessert can become your children's favorite. Large apples and pears are cut into rather thick circles; the seeds are cleaned. The pumpkin is cut into proportional slices. On a piece of food foil, a turret is assembled in the following sequence: an apple, a pear on it, a pumpkin comes third. Layers can be repeated. A spoonful of honey is laid out on top, the foil is wrapped, and the “sandwich” is placed in the oven for a quarter of an hour. Then it is transferred to a plate, poured with honey and juice and sprinkled with nuts. From such beauty and aroma no onerefuse!

Puffy casserole

If even baked pumpkin with apples in the oven causes protest in your children, they can be outwitted. The vegetable is rubbed coarsely, poured with cream (so that it is only covered) and put on a small fire. About five minutes before readiness, apples are rubbed there. Again, a quarter cup of semolina is soaked in cream. You can replace it with breadcrumbs, but it will be less tender. When the puree has cooled down a little, both masses are mixed, flavored with vanilla and sugar and distributed in a form. Thin plates of oil are laid out on top - and into the oven until a blush is obtained. Capricious people will never guess that a “suspicious” pumpkin is involved in the casserole! And they will definitely ask for more.
