BAKED APPLES STUFFED WITH CRANBERRIES AND ALMONDS

Steps:

BAKED APPLES STUFFED WITH FIGS AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°; lightly butter a 13x9 inch baking dish.
• Core apples; using a vegetable peeler, remove a 1-inch wide strip around the top of each apple; place the apples in the prepared baking dish.
• Lightly brush a food processor bowl and blade with the vegetable oil and finely chop the figs and walnuts.
• Add in the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon; process until blended; transfer the mixture to a small bowl.
• Stuff the cored apples tightly with the fig mixture, mounding any extra on top of the apples.
• Bake the apples, basting them occasionally, with any juices that form, until tender when pierced with a metal or wooden skewer, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Serve warm, either plain or with heavy cream.

BAKED APPLES WITH HALVA AND CUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 celcius.
• Add the crumbled halva to a small bowl and add the currants, chocolate chips, orange zest and cinnamon.
• Peel and core the apples and rub them lightly with lemon juice to stop them browning as you prepare the recipe.
• Using your fingers gently push the halva filling into the apples making sure you turn them over and fill them from both sides.
• Place the stuffed apples in a small baking dish which fits them well and is not too large.
• Pour the glass of wine into the baking dish and then pour one tablespoon of kirsch liqueur over each apple if you like.
• Break the cinnamon stick into two pieces and add it to the liquid in the baking dish.
• Bake apples for around 40 minutes or until they are soft. Be careful not to burn the halva stuffing. If it browns and puffs up, cover the dish with foil and continue baking until the apples are done.
• Meanwhile prepare the custard. Dissolve the custard powder in 1 cup of milk and add the sugar.
• Add the remaining milk and heat the mixture in a saucepan stirring with a whisk until it thickens. I add a little more milk to my custard at the end when it has thickened so that it reaches the consistency I like.
• Take custard off heat and lightly press cling wrap over it to prevent a skin forming.
• When apples are done, place one on a serving dish and gently pour a little custard over it. It can be served warm or room temperature.
