Often the pumpkin is sold already very large, ripe, cut into big pieces. This vegetable usually has a very thick skin that has to be removed, and its size does not allow the whole product to be baked. In such cases, housewives proceed as follows:

with apples: recipe
The golden vegetable is peeled from the outer crust and seeds and cut as desired - either into cubes or into slices. If you prefer soft baked pumpkin with apples in the oven, it is better to choose plates no thicker than one and a half centimeters. If you prefer firm flesh, go for cubes. Apples are cut into slices and sprinkled with lemon to prevent darkening. The ratio of the main components is at your discretion. First, the pumpkin is laid out evenly in a greased form, and apple slices are placed on it. The dessert is poured with liquid honey on top (it can be warmed up a little if it is sugared) and placed in the oven for 20-40 minutes. The duration of exposure is greatly affected by the thickness of the pieces. All! You can pamper yourself and your family.
Fantasies on the topic
This (pieces) with apples can be varied in taste in very different ways. For example, you can make two apple layers, and place orange slices between them. Or you can sprinkle the dish with grated cheese almost before it’s ready and return it to the oven for about ten minutes.
A very interesting option is one in which honey is removed from the list of ingredients: fruits and vegetables are baked, lightly sprinkled with sugar to give juice, and when served, poured over melted white or dark chocolate.
Almost indispensable companions of apples and pumpkins in this dessert are different nuts: they make it even more healthy, fragrant and tasty.
Some housewives advise diluting honey with sour cream: one glass fermented milk product about 3-4 spoons. They say that this way the dessert turns out more juicy and cooks faster.
Pumpkin pot
You can also prepare apples and pumpkin baked in the oven. The recipe we offer is unusual, original and gives very delicious result. To implement it, you will need a small pumpkin guitar of an elongated, non-round shape. Preparatory work includes:
- boil three tablespoons of basmati until half cooked;
- steaming a spoonful of raisins until soft and straining them;
- chopping four apples into strips;
- cutting plums into pieces (take 1 cup);
- Lightly dry roast chopped almonds (a couple of spoons).
Now let's do the pumpkin. It is cut lengthwise, the seeds are removed, and the pulp is carefully cut out so that a centimeter and a half remains along the walls. It is cut into pieces and combined with the rest of the prepared products, plus a little cinnamon, one hundred grams of soft butter and a couple of tablespoons of sugar. The pumpkin halves are filled with this “minced meat”, placed on a greased baking sheet and put into the oven for one and a half to two hours. Before serving, this baked pumpkin with apples in the oven is divided into 5-6 slices and sprinkled with melted butter.
Sweet "sandwich"
If you are not too lazy to do some simple additional manipulations, this dessert can become your children’s favorite. Large apples and pears are cut into fairly thick slices; the seeds are cleaned. The pumpkin is cut into proportional slices. A tower is assembled on a piece of food foil in the following sequence: an apple, a pear on top of it, a pumpkin comes third. Layers can be repeated. A spoonful of honey is placed on top, the foil is wrapped, and the “sandwich” is placed in the oven for a quarter of an hour. Then it is transferred to a plate, poured with honey and juice and sprinkled with nuts. No one will refuse such beauty and aroma!
Air casserole
If even baked pumpkin with apples in the oven causes protest in your children, you can outsmart them. The vegetable is coarsely grated, poured with cream (so that it is just covered) and placed on low heat. About five minutes before readiness, apples are rubbed into it. Again, a quarter cup of semolina is soaked in cream. You can replace it with breadcrumbs, but it will be less tender. When the puree has cooled slightly, both masses are mixed, flavored with vanilla and sugar and distributed in the mold. Thin slices of butter are placed on top and into the oven until golden brown. Capricious people will never guess that a “suspicious” pumpkin is involved in the casserole! And they will definitely ask for more.
