With our apples harvested in, we are having lots of lovely apply puddings. By far my most favourite apple pudding (if only because it reminds me of my childhood) is baked apples. They are so easy to make and yet so delicious!
I know that many of you will know how to make these already but simply core your cooking apples and slice a thin line around the centre of the apple (just enough to cut the skin) so that the skin does not split during cooking. Fill the apples with anything that takes your fancy, dried fruit, mincemeat, muesli, ginger cake etc. Pour a tbsp of golden syrup or honey over each apple and add a little water to the pan. Bake in a moderate oven for an hour until the apples are light and fluffy. Serve with lashings of custard.

BAked apples are one of the things I love most about this time of year. Who can resist one with a delicious filling of spicy mincemeat, served up with lashings of cream!!! Deeeeeelicious!
I love baked apples and similarly, they take me back to my childhood. I have never tried stuffing with ginger cake though - what a great idea!
Hi Hannah
I thought you were on your hols? I love baked apples too, one of the first desserts I served Cerys. I like mine cored, filled with sultanas and muscovado sugar and a dot of butter on the top. It makes a fantastic toffee sauce. I'm getting excited just thinking about making some later on!
Cheers

When I lived in Amsterdam, the department store Vroom & Dreesman served wonderful apples wrapped in a thin short crust pastry. The apples were peeled, and slices horizontally, with brown sugar and butter before they were wrapped and baked. They served it with custard. It was so yummy! I made it a few times when I went home to South Africa and my family there loved it. It will go well with a toffee sauce too.
Beautiful photo, Hannah! I've been baking apples here too - absolutely my favorite this time of year. Thanks for the tip of scoring the skin! I never heard that before, and I can't wait to try it out.
I love apples too Hannah and remember me too my childhood, my Mom made, apples'kuchen, apples'dessert,etc.etc. I love them your photo is so beautiful.Thanks Gloria
