Apple plum muffin

Its been ages since I last baked because there are so many things distracting me right now. On saturday afternoon, when he decided to go exercise, I had some time to bake something. I spotted a slice of apple crumble in the fridge and wanted to bake apple crumble. I know it does not make sense to bake something that is already sitting around in the fridge but in my determination to bake something with apples, my brain did not function very well. After searching for a good apple crumble recipe I realise, its troublesome to bake apple crumbles because most of the good recipes made use of instant pie crust.

Hence I ended up searching for apple muffins. I chance upon an apple donut muffin and was reminded of the same apple donut muffin. Not very interesting. Since there were some plums lying around in the house I decided to modify the recipe, baking Apple plum muffins. Which turned out pretty moist and soft.

Das Perfekt Dinner

Yesterday's Dinner was this piece of meat. Beef tenderloin. ( Quality stuff and damn expensive too. 500g for $40!)

This is the potato side which was damn good! Salt, thyme and olive oil baked in the oven. I could eat a bowl of this.



Below is the green man and his preparation table. I think to say that a person 'can cook' is when he/she is able to cook without the help of any recipe. Hence Huat can cook.

And the final product! Taste SUPER!

 

Earlier in the afternoon I bake some donut looking apple cake. I wanted to bake something with apples and found this recipe. I did not know that the pan was meant to bake donuts till I filled the mixture into the pan. And the recipe said to bake with red apples but I did not have any and wanted to get rid of the green apples before it becomes bad. 

See the oversized donuts. Clearly I did not expect the mixture to make 24 donuts and attempted to fill the mixture for the first batch of apple donut cake to the brim. 


Fresh out of the oven. 
 

Taste much better when its cooled and taste pretty good even without the cinnamon on top.
