SERVES 4
4 medium sized apples
30 ml (2 tbsp) sugar
25-50
g
(1-2 oz) mixed dried fruit
25
g
(1 oz) butter
Dish: 20cm (8”) shallow dish
Core the apples and score the skin around the middle. Mix together the
sugar and fruit and fill the centres of the apples. Dot the top with butter.
Stand the apples in a suitable dish, place on glass turntable and cook
on
1000 W
for 5-7 minutes before serving.
The apples will look quite green when removed from the oven, but
they should feel slightly soft when tested with a sharp knife. During the
standing time, the colour will become dull and the apples will be tender.
The apples will overcook very easily, so take care to undercook slightly.
For 1 baked apple cook for 2-3 minutes. For 2 baked apples cook for
3-5 minutes.
