Variations
I do love rum flavor and this could be because my mum always used it quite a bit in her apple desserts, especially apple pancakes.
- In terms of fruits, you may add some peaches, pineapple, plums, rhubarb, and apricots;
- flavors - I have added rum but vanilla, coconut, nutmeg, 5 spice, or cardamom are a fab addition
- you may add toppings like any homemade coulis, caramelized fruits like apple, pineapple, or why not add a drizzle of caramel sauce if you're feeling extra naughty
- add extra nuts like pecan nuts, chopped hazelnuts or a mixture of nuts and seeds;
Storage
Cut into portions (slices or squares) and store in an airtight container -refrigerated- for up to 4 days.
FAQs
Yes, it can be reheated, whatever amount you wish to eat and the remaining keep refrigerated in an airtight container.
I have not tried it to be very honest as this apple bake never lasts for more than a few hours but I guess it will freeze well and you could reheat it in a pan or oven tray until it is properly hot.
