Stuffed apple

No this is not an apple pie. This is another version of my stuffed apple.

But I think this one looks more festive for this season.

What you need;

1 apple

2 tbsp honey

1/2 cup oats

Some cinnamon

Puff pastry

Preheat the oven on 200degrees.

Cut the top of the apple of. Hollow it and make the apple in tiny peaces. Mix it with the honey, oats and cinnamon.

Put your apple mix in to your apple.

Make squares from your puff pastry to close your apple with.

You can use beaten egg on the puff pastry so it get nice golden brown. But I did not do that. 

Put your apple in the oven for about 20minutes.

Well you must say: this is much easier than apple pie?

But enjoy the little things. Smile, laugh, I know it's hard sometimes but at least try. laugh your heart out, dance in the rain. Cherish the moment and ignore the pain. Live, laugh, love, forgive and forget. Life's to short to living with regrets.

While they where talking I was reading a magazine waiting till my gynecologist is come to get me for my appointment.
They where still talking about it and when my gynecologist come to get me one of the woman asked me out of the blue: "You will also be relieved if you've had the 20 week ultrasound and everything is all right?"
Then I respond without thinking: "I will be glad if I shall be initiated in about 6 weeks".
The whole waiting room was in shock. They where looking at my bump and the looking to me, looking to their bump and again looking at mine.
My gynecologist did not stop laughing.
