Rum & raisin baked apples

Rum & raisin baked apples are a delicious and comforting dessert that's perfect for any occasion. This recipe combines the natural sweetness of apples with the rich flavors of rum, raisins, and brown sugar, creating a dish that's both sumptuous and easy to prepare.

Ingredients:

4 apples
640g
2 tbsp butter
30g
2 tbsp almonds
30g
2 tbsp raisins
30g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g
1/2 cup water
120g
1 tbsp rum
16g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash the apples thoroughly to remove any wax or residue.
2. Core the Apples:
- Using an apple corer or a small paring knife, carefully remove the cores from the apples. Ensure that you do not cut through the bottom of the apples, leaving about 1/2 inch intact at the base. This will create a small cavity to hold the filling.
3. Prepare the Filling:
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, chopped almonds, raisins, and brown sugar. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Stuff the Apples:
- Place the apples in a baking dish where they fit snugly. Fill each apple cavity with an equal amount of the prepared filling mixture, pressing it down gently.
5. Add Liquid:
- Pour the water into the baking dish around the apples. The water will help to steam and soften the apples as they bake.
- Drizzle the rum over the top of the stuffed apples.
6. Bake the Apples:
- Transfer the baking dish to the oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the filling is bubbly and golden brown. The exact baking time may vary depending on the size and variety of the apples used.
7. Serve:
- Remove the baking dish from the oven. Allow the apples to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the baked apples warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.

Tips:

- Choose firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to ensure they hold their shape during baking.

- Soak the raisins in rum for at least 30 minutes before starting to enhance their flavor.

- For a nutty crunch, use roasted almonds or substitute with your favorite nuts.

- To prevent the apples from drying out, occasionally baste them with the cooking liquid.

- Serve the baked apples warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
