Ingredients
4 Apple-firm, crisp variety
.25 cup Brown sugar
.25 cup Maple syrup-or honey
.25 cup Sultanas
.25 cup Butter-chopped into pieces
.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
.5 tsp Ground ginger
.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
.5 cup Apple juice-cider can also be used
Directions
- Preheat oven to 190 degrees.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, walnuts, sultanas, butter and spices.
- Slice the top 2cm off each apple. Using a small spoon or a melon baller, scoop out the apple’s core and seeds. Don’t go all the way down as you’ll want to keep the bottom on them.
- Set the apples out, cavity side up, in a glass or ceramic baking dish, allowing a little bit of room around each apple. Fill the apples with your spice mixture, and pop the lids on. Pour apple juice on and around the apples.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until apples are nice and tender. Rotate the baking dish halfway through. Feel free to baste throughout the cooking process with the pan’s juices.
- Serve warm, drizzled with any remaining liquids in the pan.
