Discover the superiority of Pink Lady® apples which are perfect enjoyed alone or in a number of exclusive mouth-watering recipes, devised by food guru Annabel Karmel in the new Pink Lady® Family Inspirations recipe booklet

Apples have a myriad of health benefits — in fact, the saying 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away' may not just be an old wives tale, as there is evidence that eating apples helps to reduce cholesterol, improve bowel function, reduce the risk of stroke, prostate cancer, diabetes and asthma. This is all thanks to the fibre, antioxidants and phytonutrients that are present in the fruit.

Pink Lady® apples are the highest quality apples in the orchard. No other apple is raised with more love than a Pink Lady® because it grows on the tree for longer than any other apple. This additional nurturing means a Pink Lady® apple develops unique traits: a vivid pink blush skin which makes them especially delicious, a perfect sweet/tangy balance and a hint of effervescence.

Versatile as well as good for you, Pink Lady® apples have a natural sweetness, so they are great for using in recipes suitable for all the family. If you need some inspiration, you'll find some brilliant ideas in the new Pink Lady® Family Inspirations recipe booklet, with exclusive recipes by children's food guru Annabel Karmel MBE. The booklet features seven recipes showing how to incorporate these superior apples into a range of exciting sweet and savoury dishes that everyone will love.

With nearly 20 years experience writing about and cooking for babies, children and families, Annabel Karmel's trusted books have made her a household name in the UK. Her philosophy is to help parents create simple, healthy food that looks good and encourage often fussy children to try new foods.

The Pink Lady® Family Inspirations booklet shows how delicious these apples can be in everyday cookery. Among the exciting new recipes is a quick-to-make Caramelised Pink Lady® Apple Pancake, scrumptious Pork Steaks with Apple Compote and, for those long summer days, Forest Fruit and Pink Lady® apple ice lollies.

Or how about a Fruity Chicken Curry, Heavenly Burgers, or Pink Lady® Apple and Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing?

'Inspired by Pink Lady® apples, I've developed these delicious recipes with young apple fans in mind,' says Annabel Karmel. 'Pink Lady® apples are a favourite of mine and I use them in my recipes because they taste fantastic and are great in savoury as well as sweet dishes; their lovely pink blush adds colour to any dish. Children love making their own food and some of these recipes are easy for them to make with limited supervision. I hope everyone enjoys making them as much as I did.'
