ABC Series Begins - A for Apple



Hello Friends,


Staring this month, I am hosting a new series of events called ABC Series. For September, the theme is Apple.
Apple is a  commonly used fruit in our household. Apples can be eaten raw, used to make milkshakes, desserts, can be cooked, baked etc.


Compared to many other fruits and vegetables, apples contain relatively low amounts of vitamin C, but are a rich source of other antioxidant compounds.The fiber content, while less than in most other fruits, helps regulate bowel movements and may thus reduce the risk of colon cancer. They may also help with heart disease,weight loss,and controlling cholesterol. The fiber contained in apples reduces cholesterol by preventing re-absorption. Source: Wikipedia.


So, let's have some Apple recipes all through September.



Rules for the event:
1. Send any recipe that has Apple as one of the ingredient. Apple can be the main ingredient or used in combination with any other ingredients.
2. Please link back to this announcement page and use the logo above. Link your recipe using the linky tool below.
3. Archived entries are most welcome. Please update it with a link to this announcement page and use the logo in the post before linking it.

Dates and Apple Milkshake


A tasty and nurtritious milkshake that everyone will enjoy. Kids just love it...

Ingredients:

Seedless Dates - 10
Hot milk - 1/2 cup (to soak dates)
Apple - 1
Cold milk - 1.5 cups
Honey - to drizzle (optional)

Preparation:

1. Soak dates in hot milk for 30 minutes.
2. Cut apple into pieces and add it to the soaked dates along with the milk. Blend this to a paste in a mixer. Add cold milk to this paste and blend again.
3. Pour into a glass and drizzle honey on top.


Note that I have not added sugar in this. The sweetness from dates is just enough. Adjust the quantity of honey as per the sweetness of the milkshake.
