An interesting variation on baked or roasted apples. I have not made this yet but I am posting it for safekeeping, and to make when the weather is cooler. I found this in a July 2002 issue of the Australian 'Family Circle'. The cooking time below does not include the 10 minutes standing time recommended in step 6. Ingredients:
60 g dessert dried figs, finely chopped |
1 tablespoon hazelnuts, chopped |
1 teaspoon orange zest |
1/4 teaspoon allspice |
4 granny smith apples |
1/3 cup brown sugar |
20 g butter, melted |
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Combine the chopped figs, hazelnuts, orange zest and allspice.
3. Using an apple corer, remove the apple cores.
4. Place the apples in a baking dish and loosely press the fig mixture into the centre of the apples.
5. Combine the sugar, butter and orange juice and drizzle it over the apples.
6. Bake the apples for 25 minutes or until tender, then set aside for 10 minutes for the sauce to thicken slightly.
7. Serve with the sauce spooned over the apples with cream or icecream.
