Baked Apple Recipe Method

Take out the core of both apples using an apple corer, or a sharp knife. Make a continuous slit, about an eighth of an inch deep, around the centre "waist" of each apple (see photo above ingredients).
Cut a small piece of apple out of the removed core and push it right down to the bottom of the hole that you have made removing the core, so thet it seals the base of the apple. This will help to keep the filling from seeping out of the bottom during baking.
Place the apples into a casserole dish.
In a bowl mix all of the other ingredients until evenly incorporated.
Push this mixture firmly into the holes of the apples, pressing down well to ensure each is well packed with its stuffing, finishing with a neat mound on the top.
Pour about 1/2 an inch of water into the bottom of the casserole dish.
Bake at 180ºC/350ºF on the middle shelf of the oven for approximately 40 - 45 minutes, until the apple is soft and golden brown.
Serve the apples immediately with the juices poured over them, and a little creme fraiche on the side....we find the reduced fat one delicious with this dessert.
