This is a yummy apple treat that I've served for breakfast as well as dessert. Lemon, cherries and honey add awesome flavor. Ingredients:
1/4 cup dried cherries |
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey, divided |
1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
4 medium apples |
4 teaspoons butter |
1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
topping: |
1/2 cup creme fraiche or sour cream |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream |
2 tablespoons honey |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the cherries, 1/4 cup honey, ginger and lemon peel; set aside.
2. Core apples, leaving bottoms intact. Peel top half of each apple; place apples in an ungreased 8-in. square baking dish. Fill with cherry mixture; dot with butter. Combine the apple juice, cinnamon and remaining honey; pour over apples. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 55-65 minutes or until tender, basting occasionally with pan juices.
3. In a small bowl, beat the creme fraiche, cream and honey until soft peaks form. Serve with warm apples. Yield: 4 servings.
