This baked dessert recipe puts a fun, fruit-loaded twist on the classic Anzac biscuit and is special to enjoy with loved ones while commemorating Anzac Day.

The finished skillet cookie is a mix between cookie and cake texture, and is made super moist and moreish with the addition of feijoa and apple. The fruity flavours give this loaded Anzac biscuit a bit of a crumble vibe (especially when topped with vanilla icecream or custard!) so in our mind it ticks all the boxes you want in a dessert at this time of year.

Even better, this is a super simple recipe made using common pantry staples, so it's fun to make on a whim on Anzac Day or when the next rainy weekend hits.

  • 150g butter
