Dessert "Pumpkin-apple delight"

Dessert "Pumpkin-apple delight"

Category: Vegetable and fruit dishes

Ingredients
sweet pumpkin	1 lb (454gr)
apples	2lb (908g) or 3 large
sugar	½ cup
cinnamon	1h l.
Nutmeg	1 / 4h l.
Ground cloves	1 / 8h l.
Corn starch	2h l.

Cooking method

• Wash the pumpkin, peel it and cut it into thin slices about 1 inch (~ 2.5cm) square.
• 
• The thickness of the pieces matters more than the size. The only thing is that it is better to make the pieces of the correct shape, so it will then be more convenient to line the bottom of the baking dish with them so that there are no gaps between the pieces.
• Peel the apples (I did not peel them so that the apples retain their shape and not completely spread) and cut into slices thicker than slices of pumpkin.
• 
• Preheat oven to 200C (400F).
• Combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and cornstarch.
• 
• 
• 
• Grease a baking dish with olive oil. Put half of the cooked pumpkin slices on the bottom of the mold.
• 
• Sprinkle the pumpkin layer with some of the sugar mixture
• 
• Spread out ½ part of the apple slices.
• 
• Sprinkle with ½ part of the sugar mixture again.
• 
• We spread the remaining pumpkin.
• 
• Sprinkle with spiced sugar again.
• Finally, lay out the remaining apples
• 
• Sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture on top.
• 
• Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes in a preheated oven.
• 
• Then remove the foil and bake for about 15 minutes or until the lower layers of the pumpkin are ready (we check the readiness with a knife, the pumpkins should become soft).
• 
• 
• 
• The dish is delicious both warm and cold.

Thanks a lot for the recipe! I regularly cook this healthy treat. Only not in the oven, but in the multicooker. I want to try today's portion in pies as a filling.
