I wasn't able to get any flavored cola either so followed Mandy's lead and added a 1/4 tsp of vanilla to the 1/2 can of diet Coke (I made 1 apple). I'm not too sure what the cola does for the apple but it tastes great. Mine took longer than the 30 mins, at 35 mins it was still firm in the center but I ate it anyway, lol. I was kind of hoping that the cola would cook down some to thicken a bit but it doesn't. Never the less it's an easy and tasty way to have baked apple without all the fat and sugar, YAY. -
Very good and easy to make. I used cherry coke zero and everyone enjoyed it. I made as directed using splenda instead of equal as that is all I buy.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
