| Stuffed Baked Apple |
This week in
French Fridays With Dorie we made Baked Apples. Baked Apples are a very simple, yet delicious dessert. Apples are cored, peeled half way, and a thin cut is made around the tummy. This keeps them from bursting. The apples are then stuffed with a mixture of dried fruit and nuts that have been tossed with honey, a pinch of fleur de sel (if you like) and a pinch of cinnamon( if you choose). I chose dried cherries, raisins, and pineapple for my apple stuffing with some chopped walnuts. You can use dried fruits of your choosing. The apples are then dotted with butter, put in a baking dish with apple juice, butter, and the reserved apple peels. They are baked for about 75 minutes or until they are spoon tender. Dorie suggested you heat the baking juices and pour the juices over the apples - which I did. It made them extra tasty.
These baked apples were yummy. Their flesh was tender, not mushy. I will be making these again.
You can find this recipe on pages 394-395 in
