Baked apples are a classic and – especially in winter – very popular dessert. Here’s how to easily make a festive stuffed baked apple version.
Ingredients for 4 persons)
- 4 large, firm apples
- 250g marzipan
- about a handful of raisins
- 50g ground almonds
- 4 tablespoons amaretto
- 100 grams of butter
- a teaspoon of cinnamon
Preparation
- First, preheat the oven to 200°C (top and bottom heat, 180°C for circulating air). Then melt the butter in the microwave. Tip: Cover the bowl with cling film to avoid annoying splashes of butter in the microwave.
- Now spread half of the melted butter on an ovenproof baking tin, in which the apples have enough space not to bump into each other.
- Next, prepare the filling for the apples. To do this, mix the marzipan, raisins, almonds, and amaretto.
- Now generously cut the cores out of the apples. There must be enough space for the filling, with too little filling the dessert will not be sweet enough. Now fill the cored apples with the marzipan mixture. This is best done with a teaspoon.
- Then place the filled apples upright in the baking pan and brush them with the remaining melted butter.
- Now sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the apples. Next, the apples are placed in the hot oven.
- There they have to sizzle on the middle shelf for about 15 minutes, depending on the degree of browning you want, you can vary the time a little. Serve the apples while they are still hot.
