Baked Apples & Muesli Baked Apples

These are very nice, though I prefer the normal baked apples. They're just that bit more exotic than eating a plain apple, or a normal English-type dessert, without being unfamiliar.

Baked Apples

Ingredients

(For four apples)
I recommend either Bramley cooking apples, or Golden Delicious.
50g dried fruit - eg currants, raisins, sultanas, dates or apricots.
1.25mls spice - eg nutmeg or cinnamon
50g sugar (if the apples are sour, or you have a sweet tooth)

Instructions

• Preheat oven to gas mark 4 or 180 degrees C


• Place your ingredients (all save the apples) into a bowl and mix well.


• Wipe and core apples. Lightly score then around the centre to brevent them bursting when you cook them.


• Place apples in an oven-proof dish or tin.


• Fill the cavity of each apple with filling, pressing it all down well.


• Just cover the bottom of the dish with water.


• Bake until apples become soft (approx. 30 minutes)

Muesli Baked Apples

Ingredients

(For four apples)
4 tablespoonfuls of muesli
250mls dry cider

Instructions

• Preheat oven to gas mark 5 or 190 degrees C


• Prepare the apples as for normal baked apples above.


• Pour the cider into a shallow baking tin


• Stand apples upright in the cider.


• Bake until tender, basting occasionally with the cider.


• After 15mins put the muesli in the oven, in an uncovered baking dish, so it will be heated through and have a slightly toasted appearance.


• When apples are cooked, place the muesli on a serving dish and put the apples on top. Pour the juice from the tin (cider & apple juice) over the top.

Enjoy!
