  What can you use instead of stem ginger balls? I don't have access to this kind of thing!

  I am making these for dessert on Xmas Eve... I like to add some vanilla in the stuffing, and drizzle over some Brandy just before serving :-) Yum!

  And may I just add: the house smells AMAZING when these are in the oven! :-) I also added a few chopped walnuts for some "crunch".

  Made this and the family hated it. They told me the apples were mouldy and I was very upset because I spent a long time preparing them. I also was sad when I saw the recipe had ginger in because my husband has ginger hair and gets real offended at it! I thought it generally didn't taste too bad and was encoraged to see my son pick his nose.. this is generally a good sign and means.. "Well Done Mum .. I loved that dessert but please do not give me mouldy apples again!!"

  Yum, these are good! Used an eating apple rather than a Bramley, and didn't read the recipe properly, so ended up creaming the butter with all the other ingredients, but this worked pretty well, as it made a paste that was easily stuffed into the apples. The house smelt of Christmas as they cooked, and it was all I could do to restrict myself to just one apple.
