Lemme just say it. This shit is good.
Not only is this good - I really don't think it's so terrible for you either. Basically it's apples sauteed in butter and vanilla..I mean there's calories in the butter but what maybe like 140 calories in ALL the butter used...that's nothing for a kick ass treat. Seriously the more I think about this the better it is.
Okay so I completely hacked the apples apart - you're supposed to make thin slices. Not like for a pie slices but nice pretty half-moon slices. I wasn't so great at doing that...and to tell you the truth I was a little afraid when I saw my final product compared to Nigella's perfectly golden apples in her photo. But then I tasted it and fell into tastebud bliss. Like falling into a big fluffy cloud that whisked me away to a place where desserts are vitamins.
I was also worried about how my "croutes" were going to turn out - they didn't look too impressive either...but again just delights. Now Nigella does say to serve this with cream but unless you're a blue blooded Brit - I say forget the cream. I think it's wasted calories. This recipe is perfect as is.
Nigella also says that this recipes serves 4. Which I'm sure is true, but I ate the whole god damned thing myself. It was too good and I hadn't had lunch yet. I did give Husband some to try but let's not fool ourselves. I ate the whole damned thing. 2 apples worth.
This dessert is perfect, perfect, perfect to make your Valentine this weekend and you won't feel terrible that you just ate a massive amount of dessert because you're just eating sauteed apples!!!
Oh - you do sprinkle sugar over this once done and really I think I used about half a teaspoon of sugar on the whole thing.
Nigella really hit the ball out of the park with this one.
