Method

  • step 1

    Cut the apples in half widthways. Remove and discard cores, then stand the apples in a microwave-safe dish. Break the marzipan into small chunks and mix with the mincemeat and lemon zest. Spoon into the centre of the apples and pour over the lemon juice.

  • step 2

    Cover the dish with cling film, pierce several times and microwave on High for 4½ minutes. If you don't have a turntable and the apples are not cooking evenly, turn the dish halfway through.

  • step 3

    Remove the cling film and leave to stand for 5 minutes before serving.

question

What oven setting and timing would you suggest? We don't have a microwave.

Didn't enjoy this, despite looking forward to it for ages. Too sweet, mincemeat overpowered the other flavours, apples turned to mush. The saving grace is that it was easy too make, but I wouldn't bother again.

Best baked apple recipe I've tasted. Didn't leave it to stand to cool but instead topped each one with a scoop of homemade Armagnac ice cream. Delicious.

This is a nice fairly low fat dessert
