Tarte Tatin
Speaking of tarte Tatin, it’s a dish that whets your appetite with the toasty aroma of apples.
Some people might think it seems difficult to make.
The version introduced here is very easy to prepare on a hot plate.
Apple peels and cores are packed with nutrients, so just trim off the hard parts and use the rest.
Dice the apples into bite-size cubes, put them in a heatproof container, and microwave them.
Make caramel by heating sugar and water in aluminum cups, then add the apples.
Pour in the batter made with flour and butter, and steam-fry for about 2 minutes on each side.
It’s a recipe whose aroma alone could make you happy!
Christmas cake
Christmas cake is a sweet that’s unique to the holiday season.
If you use pancake mix, even seniors can make it easily.
Bake the batter in Santa or tree-shaped molds and top with whipped cream for adorable mini cakes! Adding colorful fruit will give them a festive look, too.
Try piping the cream and decorating together with older adults.
Making and eating them as a group will spark conversation and make for a fun, memorable time.
