I love cooking with fruits and had a little kitchen fun experimenting with water apples when a friend gave some to us.
Water apples aren't as sweet as most fruits but it is juicy so it makes more sense to stir fry it than to attempt baking it with something.
Anyway, here's what I did. Simple, but the outcome was tasty. My other half, the one person who has little love for this fruit has this to say ~ "I never knew water apples could taste this good!" I agree.

Just had to google *water apples* - don't think they're easily available in the UK under any of their names!!! Love the recipe though ;)
