This is a recipe that Suzanne brought back from Claire’s place. It’s great for this time of the year when you are just harvesting the first kumara and the first good cooking apples are coming on… and it’s that time of the year for killing the pig!

Kumara Apple Bake

• Slices of fresh new kumara
• slices of new seasons cooking apples
• butter 
• cinnamon 
• rapadura or honey

Take a baking dish as big as you need. Make layer of sliced new kumara in the bottom of the dish, then a layer of new season’s cooking apples. Place dobs of butter over that, generously, and shake some cinnamon, as well as a little rapadura or a very little drizzled honey, then more layers of that mix again several times with butter and spices and rapadura on the top.

Bake until cooked and brown on top and serve with roast pork!
