O.M.GEE!!! These are so delicious and tastes so much like real apples!! Baked Caramel Chayote Apples https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7356/...312a0c0b_z.jpg so i saw someone (frawniemae) post about chayote apples... and i immediately started looking for some sort of recipe online! i found a few fried apple recipes...so decided to modify for IP https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7355/...b3204521_n.jpg CHAYOTE https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8565/...a8f1f7c239.jpg PEEK-A-BOO! (couldn't resist drawing a face!) here is what i used! https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7393/...21557640bc.jpg 3 chayote (lovely little green gems!) zest AND juice of 1 lemon 4 packets stevia sweetener (but you could use your sweetener of choice) 1 tsp apple pie spice 1/2 tsp cinnamon 2 tbsp torani sugar free brown sugar cinnamon syrup 2 tbsp torani sugar free salted caramel syrup https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7321/...ce721ffe_n.jpg from all that i read online, the chayote will release a foamy sticky substance when peeled...so i wore some disposable gloves to peel and i used a regular vegetable peeler. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7319/...e745392c_n.jpg these were very easy to peel. after i peeled them i rinsed them under water and dried them off https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7397/...14e5f25a_n.jpg then i cut them in half, and removed the center "seed" pit with a spoon https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8582/...46a871f2_n.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7336/...2654aec5_n.jpg then i sliced them like apple slices https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7398/...102c95c5_n.jpg after i sliced them, since you can eat them raw, i decided to be brave and taste one!! they are very good raw! they have a faint taste of a cross between a pear and a cucumber! crisp and crunchy! refreshing! but since i am on a quest for "apples" i sliced them all and stopped eating them! https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7402/...f469fdbf_n.jpg three chayote peeled and sliced yielded 4 cups! (perfect!!!......two 2 cup servings) https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8617/...f138d5b6_n.jpg i placed a plate over top the measuring cup and microwaved for 5 minutes do NOT add water or anything....they will steam on their own and release some juices https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7332/...7dfc458f_n.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8613/...d1a9ed4d_n.jpg in the meantime....zest and juice 1 lemon https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7342/...1b1e3a30_n.jpg now, add the lemon zest, the lemon juice and the spices and the sugar free syrups and give a gentle stir to evenly coat https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7281/...1ce379a0_n.jpg put back into the microwave for 3-5 minutes more or until the tenderness you choose i did 3 mins and they still had a slight "crunch" to them and that is how i liked them so i did not cook anymore i read that cooking them too long, changed the texture to become more liked cooked squash, so i left a little "apple" crispness to them. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7450/...7bb27d3906.jpg this is how they came out!! :dance: the smell is divine!! :dance: like an apple pie baking in the oven! https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7356/...312a0c0b_z.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8610/...2ccf9890_n.jpg WANNABiTE? |

OPTIONAL: i like to add 1 tsp of a daily fat....to give it a richer taste i use 1/2 tsp butter, but then i am not 100% so you can use olive oil, or coconut oil i also add my daily allotment of milk for extra creaminess but this is not necessary the soup tastes GREAT either way! https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8641/...fd5c9259_c.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8665/...121dc197_c.jpg i like to add a little pepper to mine!! https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8611/...f99bf4f6_c.jpg see how thick and creamy it is!! looks like rice but it isn't!! https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8670/...37a7ecdf_c.jpg WANNABiTE????? |
