REFRESHING APPLE TAPIOCA PUDDING



Refreshing Apple Tapioca Pudding image

This recipe comes from a magazine from Quebec. It's healthy. In the cooking time, I included the 2 hours in the fridge. I tried it last week and liked it a lot. I used homemade applesauce (unsweetened). I used more cinnamon and omitted the nutmeg. I guess splenda would be great instead of brown sugar to make it healthier. And I used 1% fat milk.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup/70 g tapioca (soaked overnight in plenty of water)
1 1/3 cups/350 ml milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon butter, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons runny honey, agave nectar, or brown sugar
For the Apples and Apricots:
12 dried apricots (like the tapioca, soaked overnight, but in about 1 cup/250 ml orange juice)
1 cup/250 ml or so water
1 cinnamon stick
A few tablespoons of orange juice
1 tablespoon agave nectar or honey
2 eating apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

Steps:

  • Having soaked the tapioca overnight, drain and place it in a saucepan with the milk, vanilla extract, and butter. Bring to a boil, turn to low, and simmer, stirring in the honey, agave, or sugar, for another 10 minutes.
  • Cut your overnight magically plumped apricots into halves or quarters, if desired. In another saucepan, place the water, cinnamon, orange juice, agave or honey, and apples and bring to a boil, giving it a good stir now and then. Simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
  • Now, here you can do one of two things. Serve the stewed fruit as is on top of the tapioca or put the tapioca in a small ovenproof dish with another tablespoon of butter, pour the apples and apricots on top, and bake at 350°F/180°C for 15 or so minutes. The choice, Cilla, is yours.

BAKED APPLE TAPIOCA



Baked Apple Tapioca image

This is an old family recipe. Mom's cousin, Mae, was known to be an excellent cook and baker. Everyone was thrilled to be invited to her home for a meal. This is one of her signature desserts!

Provided by Win Spicer

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 c tart apples, sliced
2 Tbsp butter, cut in cubes
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg (my addition)
1/3 c quick cooking tapioca
1 c light brown sugar
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 c water
lemon juice, 1-2 tbsp.

Steps:

  • 1. Arrange apples in greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Dot with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • 2. Combine remaining ingredients in medium saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil.
  • 3. Pour hot mixture over apples in baking dish. Cover and bake in moderate oven (375 degrees) for 25 minutes or until apples are tender.
  • 4. Remove from oven and stir. Serve warm with cream poured over or ice cream by the side.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect texture for your tapioca pearls, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help them soften and cook evenly.
  • When cooking the tapioca pearls, make sure to use plenty of water and bring it to a boil before adding the pearls. This will prevent them from sticking together.
  • Once the tapioca pearls are cooked, rinse them under cold water to remove any excess starch. This will help prevent them from becoming gummy.
  • To make the apple filling, use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • If you don't have any apple cider on hand, you can substitute it with apple juice or water.
  • For a creamier tapioca pudding, use whole milk instead of skim or low-fat milk.
  • If you want to add a little extra flavor to your tapioca pudding, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or cinnamon.
  • Serve your tapioca pudding warm or cold, topped with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nuts.

Conclusion:

Apple tapioca is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a hit. With its creamy texture, sweet apple filling, and chewy tapioca pearls, it's a delicious treat that everyone will enjoy. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or just as a weeknight dessert, apple tapioca is sure to be a hit.
