My suggestion: Stuffed Baked Apple instead of Cake
We all need good ideas concerning food for Christmas. So this is my suggestion: why not serving stuffed baked apples with custard instead of cake? Try it!
Merry Christmas!
Ingredients for 4 persons:
4 |
big sour |
apples |
about 8 |
tbsp |
ground hazelnuts |
3 |
tbsp |
sulphur-dioxide free raisins or sultanas |
½ |
tsp |
cinnamon |
2 |
tsp |
sugar |
3 |
tsp |
clear honey |
1-2 |
lacing |
Jamaica-Rum |
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Wash apples. Using an apple corer and small melon baller, scoop out the stems, cores, and seeds from the apples, leaving the bottoms intact. Stand in a baking dish.
- Heat Rum. Place the raisins / sultanas in a bowl and cover with the warm Rum. (You also can use hot water). Let sit until plumped (about 10 minutes).
- Mix some of the cinnamon and sugar.
- Mix all ingredients except the cinnamon-sugar-mixture (hazelnuts, raisins / sultanas, cinnamon, sugar, honey and rum).
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and stuff into the apples. Then sprinkle top with cinnamon-sugar-mixture.
- Bake uncovered until the apples are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Serve baked apples with custard.
