Autumn Recipe

A simple recipe to kick off autumn with the return of apples and pears. I present to you a light dessert, flavored with cinnamon. The toasted sliced almonds add crunch to this recipe. 🍎

For the toasted sliced almonds, I followed the tips I discovered on Catarina Costa’s website, « A Prendre Sans Faim ».

 

Step 1: Fruit Preparation

1. Sprinkle just a small handful of sliced almonds in a pan to prevent them from overlapping. Toast them dry over medium heat. Then transfer them to a large flat plate to cool.
2. Peel the apples and pears.
3. Cut them into small pieces in a bowl.
4. Add a teaspoon of cinnamon and a tablespoon of liquid honey, then mix the fruit pieces.

Step 2: Cooking

1. Divide the apple-pear mixture into 4 small ramekins. Cover each ramekin with aluminum foil.
2. Place the ramekins in the steamer basket of your pressure cooker.
3. Cook for 15 minutes once the pressure cooker whistles.
4. Before serving, sprinkle each ramekin with the toasted sliced almonds.

Serve warm for the best experience !

 

Gisou’s Tips and Tricks

• Feel free to fill the ramekins well before placing them in the steamer basket, as the fruits tend to shrink a bit at the end of cooking.
• There is very little added sugar in this recipe (just a tablespoon of honey), as the fruits are already quite sweet.
• You can replace sliced almonds with crushed nuts.
• Both pears and apples are rich in fiber and antioxidants, making this dessert a nutritious choice.
  Cooking in steam mode in the pressure cooker allows you to enjoy the nutritional qualities of the fruits.
