Now I know this is a little from left field - I mean so far I have talked about my love of cake but not actually shared any recipes and all the talk with sugar at the moment is more about quitting it rather than embracing it. Yeah, I know .... I'm a rebel. So you probably didn't see this coming but ... life's like that.
Using the cinnamon spice I bought as part of my Coles Circle booty I wanted to put together some simple recipes for lunchbox treats.
Today's treat are Apple turnovers. These keep really well in an air tight container for three to five days, so you could make them when you have some time on a Sunday and have lunchbox treats for the whole week.

1. Peal 4 to 5 medium size apples, core them and cut into slices. I used delicious apples. Put them into a pot on medium heat with a little water (so they don't stick) add some cinnamon sugar to make them nice and sweet. Cook them until they are soft but before they go mushy. | 
2. While the apples are stewing defrost two sheets of puff pastry and then cut into four even pieces. | 
3. Separate the four pieces of puff pastry and leave a little bit of space on the tray to work with. |
4. Let the apples cool down a little bit so they don't make the pastry soggy. Then put pieces of the apple onto one half of a pastry square. | 
5. Fold the other half over to form a triangle and seal it shut with your fingers by pressing. | 
6. Push down around the two joined edges with a fork to make them look a little bit fancy. |
7. Place all the triangles onto a baking tray with cooking paper (so they don't stick to the tray) and brush the top of each piece with milk and then sprinkle a little bit of cinnamon sugar on top. | 
8. Bake in a moderate oven for around 10 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them. You will know they are ready when they are puffed up and golden brown. |
9. Two puff pastry sheets make enough for 8 tasty apple turnovers. They are really nice warm with ice cream or even cold the next day in lunchboxes. If you love sugar (and who doesn't!!) you could also top them with a little icing once they are cooled down.
This is a really easy cooking project you could even get the kids involved with.
Enjoy,
