How To Make Pink and Delicious South African Baked Apples:

Preparation: 10 minutes 

Cooking:20-25 minutes 

 Serves: 4 

 You Will Need:

 2 South African Pink Lady apples 

2 South African Golden Delicious apples

 30g butter, softened 

50g ground almonds 

30g light muscovado sugar 

2tbsp sultanas 

Finely grated zest and juice of 1 large orange

 Vanilla ice cream or single cream, to serve

 How To Make:

 1. Firstly, preheat the oven to 180°C, fan oven 160°C, Gas Mark 4. 

 2. Using a sharp knife, score abound the middles of each apple – like an equator running around the earth! Remove the cores with an apple corer or a sharp knife. Grease a baking dish with a knob of the butter, then stand the apples in the dish. 

 3. Mix the remaining butter with the ground almonds, sugar, sultanas and orange zest. Spoon into the cored apples, and pour the orange juice on top. 

 4. Bake the apples for 20-25 minutes, until the flesh is soft – check with the tip of a sharp knife to see if they are tender. Cool for a few minutes (or else they are too hot to handle!) and serve with vanilla ice cream or single cream. 

 Cook’s Tip: 

If you can’t fit all the filling into the apples, just add it to the baking dish 5 minutes before the end of cooking time.
