Ingredients
-
30g
Buttercup Luxury Spread
-
4
large baking apples
-
50g
brown sugar
-
1 tsp
cinnamon
-
40g
currants or chopped raisins
-
30g
oats
-
180ml
boiling water
-
½ tsp
nutmeg (for that warm holiday flavour)
-
½ tsp
ginger (optional for extra spice)
-
30g
chopped walnuts (optional)
-
Maple syrup, for drizzling
-
Fresh cranberries or pomegranate seeds for garnish
Directions
- Preheat oven: Set to 190°C. Prepare apples: Rinse and dry the apples. Use a paring knife or apple corer to remove the cores, leaving about 1/2 inch intact at the bottom.
- Make the oat stuffing: In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, currants or raisins, chopped walnuts, and oats.
- Stuff the apples: Place the apples in a baking dish. Fill each apple with the oat mixture. Dot the top with more Buttercup Luxury Spread for a richer flavour.
- Bake: Pour the boiling water into the baking dish around the apples. Bake for 30-45 minutes, until the apples are tender but not mushy. Baste with the juices from the dish halfway through.
- Drizzle with maple syrup: Once the apples are out of the oven, finish by drizzling maple syrup over the top.
- Garnish: Top with fresh cranberries or pomegranate seeds
