Ingredients
- 6 large apples
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1/2 cup raisins, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 sheet puff pastry (or any leftover puff pastry you have)
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 200ºC.
- Wash and core the apples. Cut a small round off the top to give you access to the flesh. Remove apple flesh and dice into small pieces.
- Place apples in a shallow baking dish.
- Combine apple flesh, brown sugar, raisins, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl. Fill the center of each apple with the mixture and dot with 1/2 teaspoon of the butter.
- Cut the pastry into thin, 5cm strips and make a lattice with the strips on top of each apple.
- Bake, uncovered, at 200ºC for about 30 minutes, or until apples are tender and the pastry has browned and gone puffy.
- Serve with ice cream of choice or whipped cream.
