Add in the fruit and then the liquid to make a smooth, as smooth as something with two cubed apples can be, batter and portion evenly into the six wells of a muffin top pan. No muffin top pan, although I can\u2019t imagine why you wouldn\u2019t have one, you can use a regular muffin tin. Just add more time, like 10 minutes or so.<\/p>\n<p>Bake for 20 minutes at 350\u00a0degrees.<\/p>\n<p>Fantastic with a cup of coffee, latte or tea. I\u2019ve tested them with each, on different days of course.

Add in the garlic and the tomato paste. Really cook the tomato paste until it begins to turn brown. Add in the tomatoes and at least two cans of water. One to rinse out the can and one to bring the level up a bit. Stir until mixed in then add the cannellini beans. Whatever size can you\u2019re using for tomatoes, use the same size of beans. Bring the whole thing up to a boil, you\u2019ll see the bubbles along the rim of the pot, then cover and turn down to the lowest point and let it do its thing for about 30 to 45 minutes. Uncover, turn the temp to medium and add in the ditalini. Cook until al dente. If\u00a0it gets to thick, add some water.
