Stewed apples and pears

Sometimes I feel like an old maid (and I’m happily married!) or an old grandma: I like cooked apples…
I had a period in my file when I was cooking whole apples in the oven, and eat them warm, even two a day…
I know, it’s a bit decadent, but they are so good, so comfort, so sure, so soothing…
Peace to the world with cooked apples!

This time I peeled, cored and segmented apples and pears, add the juice of two lemons and the zest of one lemon, some rosemary springs, a piece of cinnamon and 3 table spoons of brown sugar. I let them cook until puréed…
Eat warm and feel decadent!

    Piperita,

    What a wonderful way of using apples – I loved it!

    ups, sorry, I thought the picture was explicit enough! You cook them in a pan, on the stove…

    How many apples/pears in this recipe? It looks delicious!

    @Cully: well, you can use the amount you want, it doesn’t really matter. Personally I’ve used 2 apple and 3 pears…

    al posto del rosmarino io ci metto lo zenzero e quando sono tiepide le accompagno con del cioccolato ultrafondente a scaglie.
    così senti meno la decadenza, ma due etti in più sparsi sul corpo a caso.
    buon lavoro.
    domani provo i tuoi pancake.
