I don’t know whether you have this issue but my children ask for an apple, promise to eat the whole thing and then hand me half of it back ten minutes later saying that they are full. There aren’t that many uses for a half-eaten apple but I think I’ve found one that works well.
A few store-cupboard ingredients and you can have a delicious breakfast or post-school treat.

Delicious for breakfast, or with cream or ice-cream. For a delicious grown-up treat, try Calvados Cream!
They look delicious. I love sneaking fruit and veg into treats and these look absolutely perfect. Thank you
hank you Kirsty. They are jolly tasty: I have been known to eat one or two 🙂
I hadn’t thought that they were like Kartoffelpuffer Carolin. That has made me extra happy. If disappointed that I am not as original as I thought 🙂
They sound lovely
Kartoffelpuffer! I love them! In Germany, no one would have them with cream or ice-cream though. You either have them with some sugar on top or apple sauce – amazing!
Yum, will give these a try. I make a similar version with bananas that my kids devour!
Halleluiah! Yes, we have *exactly* the same problem here. (And they won’t take the apple cut into slices either.) I don’t wish to deny my children healthy apples but the wasteage is terrible. They love pancakes though so I’ll be giving this a go!
My kids do that all the time. I keep meaning to cut them in half to serve but whenever I do they insist they really are going to eat it all this time. *sigh*
they sound great!
some of the apples these days are so big that even I’m full before I’ve finished it – I would much prefer to eat these though!
