Baked apples
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas 2.
-
Place the mixed dried fruit and the brandy into a bowl and leave to soak for at least two hours, but ideally overnight.
-
After soaking, add the sugar, allspice and butter to the brandy-soaked fruit.
-
Spoon the fruit mixture into the holes in the cored apples, pressing in to fill well and spread some more butter over the apples.
-
Place the stuffed apples into an ovenproof dish, cover with aluminium foil and transfer to the oven to bake for 40 minutes.
-
Remove the foil and cook 15-20 minutes more, until the apples are soft, but not collapsing.
-
Place onto plates and serve with a dollop of Greek yoghurt.
