Baked Apples

I used to think that the seeds in apples when they were baked became soft and wrinkly and juicy - it turns out that was just the sultanas.  Sinfully easy dessert to make.   But you'll need an apple corer. Choose a filling from the options below or just bake them as they are drizzled with honey, maple syrup or golden syrup.  I've chosen Bramley apples because they soften in the process but  I do like my apples quite tart so be warned.

1 Bramley Apple per person

Filling options:

• Fill with Mincemeat
• 1tsp of Chopped Nuts (Pecans, Walnuts, Almonds), 1tsp of Sultanas, 1tsp of soft brown sugar, 1tsp butter (per apple)

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 175C.
2. Wash and core apples and place in a greased oven proof dish.
3. Fill core of apple and bake for 30 mins.
4. Serve warm with Custard, Cream or Ice-Cream
