Baked Apples: Solar Cooker Desserts

Posted by Jonathan

Baked Apples
Baked apples can be cooked in a solar cooker too
Carrie has made us baked apples on a few occasions, and I have absolutely loved it. Now, too much sugar (or really, even a medium amount of refined sugar), may not be all that good for you, or for the environment, depending on where the sugar, apples, and cinnamon came from, and depending on how they were grown. So do a little research to know what you're eating before you're eating it.


  • Apples

  • Sugar, brown and white

  • Cinnamon

Do not peel apples. Core. Fill cavity with sugars. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Place in dark pan. Cover and bake in solar cooker for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours.

As with all recipes for solar cookers, your cooking times may vary, depending on the sun, your solar cooker, the temperature of your solar cooker, your location on the planet, and any other number of factors. Just remember that this should be fun to experiment with. Try a few different recipes, note the position of the sun in the sky, and try to make sure your solar cooker stays pointed at the sun the whole time it is cooking. Note how long it takes food to cook in your cooker, at your location, during the time of year you are cooking your food, and adjust the recipes accordingly.
