2 oz grated marzipan

1, Pre heat oven 190oc/gas mark 5 and then put the apples into a baking dish with 4 tbsp of water and 3 oz of sugar. Bake for 20 mins. Meanwhile melt marg in a saucepan then remove from the heat. Mix in the muesli, the remaining suagr and grated marzipan. Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle the topping over the hot apples in a thick and even layer.
2, Bake for a further 15-20 mins until topping is crunchy and golden.


Cheezly (or other vegan cheese) and roasted leek tart

Thanks puffin - might try the leek one in particular as we're getting rather a lot of young leeks in our veg bag at the moment.

I like them, though they don't like me much :o

They will be with me - I might try the apple one as well, if I get to the ones in our garden before the snails do...
