This simple dessert is a great finale to any meal. Start with cooking apples for the best flavour and texture
Browning the butter lightly before tossing with the apples and pears brings a slightly nutty flavour to the dish. Serve over vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt for a simple and delicious dessert. Royal Gala apples keep their shape when roasted; if you can't find them, choose ones that are similar, such as Northern Spy, Golden Delicious or Cortland.
Sticky date pudding gets a makeover using pumpkin purée. Be sure to use pure pumpkin purée instead of pumpkin pie filling.
Be sure to use eggs and buttermilk at room temperature for a fine and delicate crumb. Serve with whipped cream.
Using granulated instead of brown sugar creates an interesting crunchy topping.
Peach season just wouldn't be the same without peach pie. Serve with Bourbon Brown Sugar Ice Cream.
If you want to use regular peanut butter, reduce butter by 2 tbsp (30 mL) and brown sugar by 1/4 cup (60 mL).
