Halogen Oven Recipe - Baked Apples


Baked Apples - so simple, so easy - and now also very very quick.


INGREDIENTS

1 x medium sized Bramley or large size dessert apple per person.
cinnamon
soft brown or soft ligh brown sugar
raisins or other dried fruit
pecan nuts (optional)
1 x teaspoon butter (or two - per apple)


Leave the apple whole, but cut out the core. This is easier (but not essential) if you have an apple corer. Remove 1/3 of the peel from around the top of the apple. Also, score the skin round the middle of the apple. This helps prevent splitting as the apple cooks.
Next, put some raisins or other dried fruit in the bottom of the cored apple, Sprinkle in some cinnamon. Add a teaspoon of the sugar, some cinnamon, more raisins and nuts if desired.
Top with a teaspoon of butter. These are now ready to go in the halogen oven at 180deg for 10 > 15mins. Preheating is not required.
For conventional ovens, cooking time will be 35 > 45 mins.
Put the low grill in the oven and place the apples in baking tray on top. Add one tablespoon of water for each apple to the tray. This will make a sauce as the butter and juices are released.



Serve hot, drizzled with the baking juices and a scoop of vanilla ice cream
