Cooking healthy with apple

This is a combination made in "Heaven"!

Sweet baked parsnip with the tang of good apple- this dish is fine on its own or a part of a larger meal.

Serves 4

You need:
750 g parsnip scrubbed and chopped into chunks.
Salt and pepper
2 large cooking apple peeled and cored and sliced very thinly
juice of half a lemon
1 tbsp sugar

Preheat your oven to 180 C

Steam the parsnip till very soft, mash to a fine puree and season well.

Spread half the parsnip in a buttered gratin dish and cover with half of the apple,
Repeat the layers arranging the remaining apple slices neatly on top.
Sprinkle with the lemon juice and sugar.
Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes until the apple are soft and beginning to
brown.
Serve immediately.

Note:  If you can not get parsnips the dish can be made with sweet potatoes and apple
both dishes taste good with tenderloin pork .
