This is from Bavarian Cooking . I haven't made it yet. For the wine, the German Forum recommends chardonnay, followed by pinot grigio. Riesling might be too sweet. Ingredients:
6 -8 apples (uniform size) |
2 ounces marzipan |
1 ounce confectioners' sugar |
1 tablespoon rum (or arrack) |
2 tablespoons candied ginger, chopped |
2 tablespoons sliced almonds (sliced) |
1 -1 1/2 cup white wine |
1 ounce butter |
Directions:
1. Wash the apples; core with apple corer. Remove stem, crown and core, but not the bottom.
2. Knead marzipan with sugar and Arrack (or rum) until it crumbles. Add the ginger. Mix.
3. Fill apples with the mixture. Place in ovenproof dish. Pour wine around apples. Sprinkle apples with almond flakes and dot with little pieces of butter.
4. Cover with foil. Bake at 420 for about 1/2 hour (time depends on kind of apple use).
