It was one of those days when I didn’t have any time nor energy to bake a cake. In times like these I peek into my pantry, take a jar of Nutella and eat it with a spoon. Oh, those glorious times. But sometimes, I take a slight effort to make a simple dessert like this one.

I have a box of beautiful organic apples, ready to be used. So I took a few and turned them into this simple seasonal dessert. The same can be made with pumpkin and I’m sure it would be great as well.

Description

This apple mousse is a delightful and simple dessert made from organic apples, perfect for enjoying the seasonal flavors with a touch of cinnamon and honey.

4 organic apples
0.4 cups (100 ml) whipping cream
2 sticks of cinnamon
1/2 tsp powdered cinnamon
4 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
Walnuts, for garnish

Instructions

Wash the apples thoroughly, peel them, cut them in half, and remove the cores.
In a pot, bring water to a boil and add the apple halves along with 2 sticks of cinnamon. Cook for 20 minutes until the apples are soft.
Remove the apples from the pot and let them cool slightly. Puree the apples until smooth.
Mix in the powdered cinnamon, honey, and vanilla extract into the apple puree.

For a variation, try using pumpkin instead of apples. This dessert is best served chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Garnish with walnuts for added texture and flavor.
