Easy Baked Papaya Dessert Recipe

Now I’ve had fresh papaya with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for breakfast before.  Good stuff!

But here’s a recipe that called baked papaya…

Baked Papaya

(6 servings)

3 firm but ripe papayas
6 small pieces of vanilla bean
6 tsp butter
12 tsp brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Peel papayas and split each in half. Remove seeds.

Arrange papaya halves, cut side up, in baking dish with about 1/2 inch of water over the bottom. Dot center of each papaya half with a small piece of vanilla bean, 1 tsp of butter and 2 tsp of sugar. Bake until tender, about 45 minutes.

** Not everyone can get vanilla beans. I would try adding pure vanilla extract to the butter and mix it until it’s well combined. Not sure how much vanilla - would go by taste.

Easy Apple Crumble Pie Recipe

Apple Crumble Recipe - Easy Apple Crumble Pie

By Donna Monday

What is more down home than a freshly baked apple pie? Not much, I tell you. This apple crumble dessert recipe is an easy-to-make variation of the popular two crust apple pie. What makes this an easy apple pie recipe is that you only use one crust (which you don’t even have make), and the filling and topping will only take a few minutes to put together.

1 Ready made frozen pie crust

Filling

6 – 7 tart apples

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Apple Crumble Topping

3/4 cup flour

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter, firm texture

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

First of all, don’t peel the apples. Core and cut apples into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place apple slices into the pie crust.

In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Sprinkle this spice mixture over the apples.

Bake 30 to 40 minutes until edge of pie is golden brown and the apples are nice and tender. Keep in mind when serving - this pie will have a loose texture and not be firm like regular apple pie.
