Baked apples are taken to a whole new level with this version.
Serves 4-6
Ingredients
- 3-4 large apples, halved through waist, cored
- ½ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 25g butter, melted
- 3 tbsps. water
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ cup walnuts
- To serve: cream, sour cream, or crème fraiche
Method
- Preheat oven to 180C.
- In an oven dish, place sugar, butter, water, and salt. Stir to mix.
- Set apples in the dish, cut side up. Scatter walnuts over and around. Cover tightly with foil.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then remove foil and baste apples with syrup.
- Cook for a further 20-30 minutes uncovered until apples are soft and the caramel lovely and syrupy. If you need to cook a bit longer, do, but only until apples are soft, not mushy.
- While still hot, dollop on some cream, sour cream, or crème fraiche, which offsets the sweetness beautifully, even stirring some into the syrup.
