Baked apples with saffron

To change the classics, honey, cinnamon, jam, sugar, knobs of butter… I suggest you flavor your baked apples with saffron.

Here is a simple recipe for baked apple lovers. How do you prepare them at home? Simply with a knob of butter and white sugar? Because there are cinnamon lovers. Those who prefer brown sugar or honey. Jam fans. Those who add flaked almonds, walnuts and other oilseeds…

To tell you the truth, I imagined garnishing my apples with saffron during an apple monodiet. The monodiet consists of eating only one ingredient and lasts 3 days, which corresponds to the complete cycle of regeneration of liver and kidney cells and therefore allows for in-depth detox. Are you interested in finding out more? So 3 days of eating only apples, all varieties, both raw and cooked in compote, baked with spices or whole like here. Spices are allowed but no fat or sweeteners. So to add flavor, I imagined using the saffron that I grow in my garden (I tell you about it here).

There is no question of detox or mono-diet here, this recipe has become a simple pleasure at home. Cored apples (we like rubinettes), a small teaspoon of brown sugar in each apple (or sometimes coconut sugar or muscovado sugar) and a little water in which I have infused saffron pistils. A little water at the bottom of the dish and off to the oven.
