4 x 5ml spoons brown sugar
1 x 5ml spoon ground cinnamon
4 x 5ml spoons sultanas (optional)
1 x 5ml spoon water

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan or gas mark 4.
- Wash, core and cut the apples into 1cm thick slices.
- Make four squares of foil about 20cm square.
- Place the apple slices onto the foil (1 apple per foil square).
- Sprinkle each foil square with 1 x 5ml spoon of brown sugar, ¼ x 5ml spoon of cinnamon, 1 x 5ml spoon of sultanas (if using) and a few drops of water.
- Wrap your foil parcel up and place in the middle shelf of the oven, on the baking tray for 20 minutes.
- Be careful when you open the foil parcels as they will be very hot and steamy. Allow to cool for a few minutes before eating.
Skills used include:
Washing, measuring, chopping and baking.
Something to try next time
- Try making different fruit parcels. You could add a few blackberries or use pears.
Prepare now, eat later
- Prepare just before baking to prevent the apples from going brown.
- Save any cooked apple, chill and serve the next day with natural low-fat yoghurt.
Get more from your food
- Apples stay fresher for longer in the fridge kept in a loosely tied plastic bag. Sliced apple also freezes well – squeeze the juice of half a lemon into a bowl of water and drop them in as you are chopping them up, then freeze in a single layer before packing into a bag once frozen.
