Instructions

Begin by pre-heating your oven to 200 C / 392 F / gas mark 6.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts, dried fruit, sugar and spices. Stir until well mixed.
Next, core the apples by taking a sharp paring knife and a spoon (or a melon balled) and removing the core and seeds from the apple, being careful not to cut through the bottom.
Run the knife around the centre of the apples, horizontally.
Place the apples into an oven dish leaving a little space between them.
Stuff the centres of the apple with the filling, pressing down slightly to make sure there's plenty of filling. Add half a table spoon of butter on top of each apple.
Pour warm water into the base of the oven dish and then place in the centre of the oven.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until apples are tender soft. (Check after 30 minutes if your apples are quite small).
Once cooked, take the oven dish out of the oven and leave to cool slightly.
Serve warm with caramel sauce, custard or ice cream.
