Oven baked bananas

 

Apple pudding

 
  • 6 APPLES, cleaned and grated
  • 1/2 CUP CONDENSED SWEETENED MILK
  • 100 GRAM BUTTER
  • 4 CLOVES
  • JUICE OF 1 LEMON
  • 1/2 TSP CINNAMON
  • 1/2 TSP NUTMEG, grated

Bake the bananas with peel 10 minutes in the oven at 240 degrees Celsius. Remove carefully half of the peel and serve with chocolate sauce.

Bananas are one of the most consumed fruits in the world, if not the most. They are popular in tropical countries as well as in Europe and the USA. Which is understandable, because it is such a convenient fruit: easy to peel, no pits, no problems, no chewing needed (almost). Bananas contain a lot of potassium.
Bananas grow on something that looks like a tree, but is not; after producing the banana, the plant will die and disappear entirely, and a new plant will emerge, producing bananas again.

Mix the apples with the lemon juice. Melt the butter and stir fry the spices three minutes. Add the apples and cook 10 minutes. Stir in the raisins and the condensed milk and simmer 5 Minutes. Serve hot and sprinkle with almonds.
