Ingredients
- 50g natural dried breadcrumbs
- 8 dried apricots , roughly chopped
- 75g cinnamon sugar (see below)
- 75g butter , chopped
- zest and juice 1 orange
- 6 large Bramley apples
- custard or vanilla ice cream, to serve
Method
- STEP 1
Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix together the breadcrumbs, apricots, cinnamon sugar, butter and zest.
- STEP 2
Using an apple corer, remove the centre of each apple, then score the skin across the equator so they don’t collapse during roasting.
- STEP 3
Pack the filling into the apples, then sit them snugly into an ovenproof dish. Mix together the orange juice and 150ml water and pour round the apples. Roast for 40-50 mins until nicely browned and very soft, but still just holding their shape. Serve with the sticky pan juices and custard or ice cream.
