- 1/2 Cup Organic Ketchup
- 1 tsp organic Mustard

Apple Pie (in Apple)
Apple Pie in Apple!
We saw this online and thought, we HAVE to make this! We decided to do an old fashioned apple pie crust with no sugar and using rye flour instead of all purpose flour. This is a great portioned sized dessert!
Crust: (enough for 10 apples)
- 1 Cup Rye flour (all purpose)
- A Pinch of Salt
- 10,5 Tbsp unsalted Butter (cold, cut into little dices)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp Lemon juice (cold)
- 2-3 Tbsp Ice water
Method:
Food-processor:
- Mix the flour, salt and cold butter together on high speed in your food-processor for a few seconds, then pulse a few times until the dough has a grainy consistency.
- While the food-processor is still on add the ice water and cold lemon juice and mix until the dough is smooth.
- Remove dough from bowl and press into a ball then roll out your pie crust on parchment paper. While using a pizza slicer cut the dough into thin slices and place into the refrigerator until you are ready to use.
Filling:
- 1-2 Tbsp Lemon juice
- 10 Granny Smith Apples
- all of your scooped apple core (remember to removed the stones)
- Peanuts
- Raisins
- Sugar
- Cinnamon
Method:
- Wash, and cut the top of your apples. Using a spoon hollow out the core to make the apple “bowl”. Be careful to not puncture the peel, this will cause the apple to break and leak while in the oven. Set the “apple bowls” aside.
- Cut the scooped apple core into small chunks.
- In a bowl, mix together the apple core, lemon juice, nuts, raisins, sugar and cinnamon (however much you desire, taste in-between).
- Spoon filling back into the apple bowls and press down gently, then cover the top of the apple in a lattice pattern with pie crust strips.
- Lightly brush the crust with some milk, then sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon on top.
Bake in the oven in a baking dish for 20-35 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Carefully remove the apples from the baking dish and serve hot along with ice-cream or whipped cream!
Enjoy!
Healthy Flapjacks
Healthy twist on traditional Flapjacks!
We have never made this recipe, in fact we weren’t quite sure how to make this to be honest. We had a request and we did some digging and after a few attempts we feel happy with the final result. We found out that this is a traditional Irish/British food so please if we’ve done this wrong let us know so that we can alter it to your liking 
The traditional recipe calls for syrup and a great amount of butter, so we switched that with raisins, dates and coconut oil and added some dried fruits and flax-seeds. While researching the healthier version of flapjacks we noticed some also add agave syrup for that special taste and texture, this is optional and tastes really nice. If you want to add syrup and butter to the recipe use unsalted butter (5 Tbsp) and Agave syrup (4 Tbsp) instead of golden syrup and stay healthy See tip below for this method and other tips.
Recipe:
- 1 Cup pitted Dates or Raisins
- 1/2 Ripe Banana
- 2-3 Tbsp Coconut Oil
- 2 Cups Oatmeal / Oats
- 1 Tbsp Flax-seeds
- 2-3 Tbsp Dried fruit or nuts of your choice (banana, cashew nuts, apricots, raisins, coconut flakes, etc.)
Step by Step:
- Preheat your own to 325F / 170C
- Drop your dates/raisins and banana in your food-processor and mix well, you might have to scrape down the sides a few times. Alternatively you can also add the oats for a smoother texture.
- Now scoop the mixture into a bowl and add all of the ingredients and stir it well until everything sticks together, you might have to add more coconut oil as you go along.
- Pour the mixture into baking sheet/dish spread well and lightly press down the top with a spatula making sure the surface is even.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and cut the flapjacks into squares or however desired and leave to cool in the baking sheet/dish until completely cooled.
- Store in airtight container, in room temperature or the fridge.
Alternative Method:
- Instead of using dates/raisins, banana and coconut oil, you can use butter and syrup.
- Use 5 Tbsp of unsalted butter and 4 Tbsp of Agave syrup.
- In a sauce pan melt the butter and agave syrup, then add all of your ingredients in the pan and stir well. Then continue the recipe how it is mentioned above.
Enjoy!
Healthy Bread Rolls
So Healthy and so Delicious!
We love making bread, especially rye bread! It’s really healthy, packed with nutrients and keeps longer! We thought we’d share some health benefits of rye and fiber before we give you the recipe
Did you know:
- Rye bread satisfies longer than wheat
- Rye’s fiber promotes weight loss
- Rye lowers insulin respons
- Improves blood glucose profile
- Helps prevent gallstones
- Rye and other Whole grains substantially lowers type 2 diabetes risk
- Fiber fights diabetes and cardiovascular disease and promotes gastrointestinal health
Recipe:
- 3,3 Tbsp dry Yeast (50 g.)
- 2 Tbsp Butter
- 1 3/4 Cups finger warm Milk
- 1 tsp Salt
- 3 Cups Rye flour
- 1 1/3 Cups Whole wheat flour
- 1/2 Cup Flaxseeds
Tip: before you start, it’s best to use your stand mixer for this recipe.
1. Melt your butter, then add the milk to it and warm it up until the mix is finger warm (98.5 F/37 C) and add it to your mixing bowl along with the dry yeast.
2. Add your salt long with the the whole wheat, flax-seeds and 2 cups of rye flour. Gradually turn your speed up on your stand mixer and add some more of the flower until the dough doesn’t stick to the bowl anymore.
3. Knead the dough for an additional 2-3 minutes until smooth.
4. Get your kitchen sink ready with 1,5 inches of warm water. Wrap the bowl in plastic and place it in the sink.
5. Let the dough rise for about 40 minutes or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat over to 475 F (240 C)
6. Knead the pre-risen dough lightly together (2 minutes) and divide dough into 16 even portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray or brush the rolls with lukewarm water before placing them in the oven.
7. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes on the middle shelf or until golden brown.
8. Straight from the oven set aside under a tea-towel for 5 minutes, this will make them softer.
Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Tip: These are excellent to store in your freezer for a later date!
