Ingredients

  • 4 bramley apples
  • butter
  • mincemeat approximately 150-200g
  • 200 ml water
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup plus extra for drizzling
  • Brandy butter to serve or custard/cream/ice cream

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 200C / 180C fan / gas mark 6 / 400F.
  2. Use an apple corer to remove the cores from your apples, then carefully score around the middle of each apple, using a knife (this is really important otherwise your apple might explode!).
  3. Lightly grease a roasting tray with butter (it’s best to use a tray that will fit your apples in snugly) and place the apples in the roasting tray.
  4. Fill each apple with as much mincemeat as you can and pop a teaspoon of butter on top, then drizzle a tablespoon of maple syrup over each one.
  5. Pour 200ml water into the base of your tray (this is to stop the juices burning) and cover the apples with foil.
  6. Bake in your pre-heated oven for 45-50 minutes, until the apples are soft.
  7. When your apples are ready, remove from the oven and take off the foil. (Be very careful as the steam is hot and may burn you!)
  8. Transfer onto plates and serve with the juices drizzled over, extra maple syrup and a blob of brandy butter.
