Ingredients :

8

15 ml

15 g

150 ml

large cooking apples

large prune, soaked and stoned

dried apricots, soaked and chopped

sultanas

margarine

orange juice

1. Heat the oven to 190^oC (375^oF), Gas 5.
2. Core the apples, then fill the prunes with chopped apricots and pack 2 stuffed prunes into each apple - the cavity may have to be enlarged slightly.
3. Press in the sultanas to fill in the gaps.
4. Put a knob of margarine on each apple.
5. Prick or slit the apple skins.
6. Stand the apples upright in a shallow baking dish which they just fit into a pour on the orange juice.
7. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, until the apples are tender.
8. Do not let them collapse.
9. Serve hot.

Alternative Suggestion :

Any dried fruit, or mixture of fruits, can be used to fill the apples - currants, seedless raisins, sultanas, chopped figs. Chopped nuts give a good contrast in texture, particularly with 'floury' varities of apple. A little shredded coconut sprinkled over the fruit 10 minutes before the end of cooking time is good too.
