Fruit Jelly

Another simple recipe incorporating fruit that will be love by kids are jelly. For this you can use any fruit other than kiwi, papaya or fresh pineapple. Tinned pineapple is fine. Those fruits has enzyme in them which prevents jelly from setting.

Just cut the fruits into small pieces. Then follow the instruction in jelly or gelatin pack. Put the fruits in before you leave them to set.

A variation is to use milk instead of water then put in cocoa powder. Of course you can only use this with clear jelly. If you do not want the jelly to be too rich, add milk half half with water.

Or you can also use milk, water and orange essence without the cocoa powder.

Simple Apple Pie

I thought about this recipe when I have too much apple in my fridge and no one wants them anymore. When I turn the apple into apple pie, it was a big hit for everyone!

Peel and core the apples, then cut them about 0.5cm x 0.5 cm. Put them in the pan then put some water to cover it, one cinnamon and some brown sugar, about one tablespoon for every 2 apples. Cook them until they look soft enough.

Watch them while they cook all the time, so you can stir them and make sure you have enough water. Don't worry if you did not put enough water at the first time, just add hot water later to make it right. When they are ready, set them aside until they are cold (fridge is a good place to shorten the time).

Then prepare some puff pastry. Make sure the filling is cold when you are ready to put them in the pastry, otherwise your pastry will soften considerably and you risk making a hole. Put the apple filling inside and close them. Brush with beaten egg, then put them in the oven.

You can make them as a single serve (like the one sold by McDonald's and the easiest I think) or a big one for sharing.
