Apple Scrolls

April 18, 2016 by Jo@CountryLifeExperiment 3 Comments

The orchard has begun to bear some serious fruit. After last year where we got half a dozen apples, I wasn’t quite ready for the sudden influx of apples this year. Fortunately apples are one of the kids favourite foods, and the apple slinky machine is getting a good work out. Our apples are heritage varieties – sweet and full of robust flavour – and they are picked when they are ripe (unlike the supermarket versions). Despite the kids’ best efforts, there is still more apples than we can eat quickly, so I’m looking for other ways to use them up.

I have plans to cook a whole lot of them up into apple sauce to have with roasted pork over the coming months. I just need to get my act together. In the mean time, I made some of these scrolls. The kids are on school holidays at the moment so I needed to have something to keep their tummies full while they run around all day.

    I dry slices, they go well in your muesli recipe. I sometimes make apple pectin and apple sauce.
