One fruit that is on the grocery list every week are apples. One medium apple (180 g) has only 72 calories, 19 carbohydrates, is a source of fibre and is a source of Vitamin C so the kids have it as part of their lunch every day.
Washington State is known as one of the premier apple-growing areas in the world and the growing conditions make Washington an ideal region to grow organic apples. Organic Washington apples are available in every key variety which includes Honey Crisp, Granny Smith and Ambrosia. Each organic Washington apple is picked by hand to avoid bruising so it’s perfect to enjoy.
If you have been on Tik Tok lately, you might have seen @ramenasaidwow’s Crinkle recipe. This dessert is like a phyllo pie with a crispy phyllo top and a custard centre. We loved the original and knew that adding delicious apples would just take this dessert to a whole new level.
You need a whole box of phyllo pastry to make an 8” square pan of this luscious dessert. The phyllo is first crisped up, then butter is added to crisp it up some more. I added chopped up Washington Organics and cinnamon to the custard portion of the recipe, pouring the milky egg mixture all over the crispy phyllo. If you know me, you know that nuts are always a great finish to any dessert and really, they pair so well with apples. For this dish, I went with roasted pistachios. We enjoyed this dessert on its own but we also indulged with some vanilla ice cream.
