I need to use up some apples, but can't be bothered to make a pie. does anyone have any EASY recipes without too many ingredients. I don't have any nuts , but I have:
sultanas
dates
SR flour

butter
golden syrup

But no sour cream, jam or cream cheese etc.. (just to eliminate those types of recipes)..

What about a crumble?

Chop up the apples, (you can peel them if you prefer) put them in a baking dish and spinkle some sugar over them.

For the topping use 2 cups of plain flour, and some cubed cool butter and some sugar and squish together wish fingertips until it's combined and a crumbly texture.

Pour over the top of the apples and bake for about half an hour.

If you are keen I can check the quantities for you.

I would suggest a crumble too, it's the easiest. You could make a pie too if you're decent at pastry.

Or if you have puff pastry in the freezer you could make apple turnovers very quickly: cut pastry sheet into 4 squares, tablespoon or a bit more of diced apples in the middle, fold in half (triangle shape), seal edges with a bit of water, place on baking paper on a baking sheet, cut a few vent holes in the top of each, sprinkle with white sugar, and bake at the temp on the puff pastry package till golden (around 10-15 min).

Peel and core apples.
Place on baking tray.
Fill centres with sultanas.
Sprinkle with cinnamin (or brown sugar).
Place in oven until tender.

Apple cake:

any plain cake recipe will do, even a packet. Make to instructions adding 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter. Then peel and core 2-3 apples slice or cube and arrange over the batter, sprinkle with a little cinnamon and sugar.

My kids love this with custard or for a treat at school:)
