Prep time
10 mins
Ingredients
- Butter: 1 tbsp butter
- Ground Cinnamon: 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Light Muscovado Sugar: 50g light muscovado sugar
- Prune: 4 prunes, chopped
- Stem Ginger: 2 stem ginger balls, finely chopped
- Ice Cream: 4 big scoops good quality vanilla ice cream, to serve
- Cooking Apple: 4 cooking apples, cored but left whole
Directions
- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Using a sharp knife, score a line around the equator of each apple. Put them into a baking dish with a small splash of water in the bottom.
- In a bowl, combine the ginger, cinnamon, prunes and sugar. Stuff the mixture into the apples so that they are well packed. Top each with a knob of butter and bake for 35-40 mins, or until cooked through. To test, pierce with a sharp knife - it should slide straight through. The apples can be cooked up to a day ahead, then warmed through in the oven or microwave before eating.
- Remove from the oven and baste the apples with the liquid left in the dish. Serve hot or warm with the ice cream.
