• Add baking powder to refined flour and add this mixture to the pumpkin puree. Add egg and salt. Finely chop parsley and add and mix everything well.
• Heat sufficient oil in a deep pan.
• Meanwhile to make apple sauce, peel green apple, discard the core and chop.
• Heat 2 tbsps butter in a non-stick pan, add green apple pieces and cook on medium heat. Add sugar and continue to cook. Add cinnamon powder and lemon juice and cook till the apple softens. Add ½ cup butter and take the pan off the heat and set aside to cool down to room temperature.
