- 4 apples, cored
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp chopped walnuts
- 1 tbsp raisins
- 2 tbsp water
Method
Step 1. Heat the oven to 180°C.
- Heat
- Oven to temperature (about 10-15 minutes)
- Look for
- The oil shimmers and flows like water; a drop of water sizzles instantly.
- Why it matters
- Food added to a properly hot pan sears and browns instead of steaming and sticking.
- Avoid
- Adding food to a cold pan: it sticks, turns grey and soaks up oil.
Step 2. Stand the apples in a dish and fill with walnuts, raisins and cinnamon.
- Heat
- Off, no heat
- Look for
- Everything is evenly coated or just combined, with no dry pockets.
- Why it matters
- Mixing spreads salt, fat and flavour through the food so every bite tastes the same.
- Avoid
- Overmixing batters and doughs makes them tough; stop once just combined.
Step 3. Add the water to the dish and bake for 35 minutes until soft.
- Heat
- Keep the heat steady
- Look for
- The new ingredient is coated and the mixture returns to a gentle bubble.
- Why it matters
- Adding things in order lets each ingredient cook for just the right time.
- Avoid
- Dumping everything in at once: delicate items turn mushy before tougher ones are done.
