Method
- Put the dried fruit and calvados in a small pan over a low heat. Warm for a minute, then cool.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Core the apples, put in a pan of simmering water and cook for 5-10 seconds. Remove, cool and put in a roasting tin big enough to hold the apples with gaps in between.
- Mix the 60g butter, soft light brown sugar, almonds and spices in a bowl. Drain the dried fruit, reserving the calvados left in the pan, and add the fruit to the butter and sugar mix. Beat well to combine.
- Stuff the apples with the mixture, then bake, stuffed ends up, for 30-40 minutes until the apples are just soft.
- Meanwhile, put the caster sugar, knob of butter and 2 tbsp cold water in a heavy-based pan with the reserved calvados over a medium- high heat. Bubble for 3-4 minutes until the mix forms a glossy caramel.
- Remove the apples from the oven and pour over the caramel. Serve with custard and cream.
