Ingredients
4 medium sized apples
30 ml (2 tbsp) sugar
25-50 g (1-2 oz) mixed dried fruit
25g (1 oz) butter
Baked Apples Serves 4
Dish: 20cm (8”) shallow dish
1. Core the apples and score the skin around the middle.
2. Mix together the sugar and fruit and fill the centres of the apples.
3. Dot the top with butter. Stand the apples in a suitable dish and cook on HIGH power for
5-7 mins. 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 mins. For 2 baked apples cook for 3-5 mins.
