Chock-full of old-fashioned goodness, this baked apple recipe is yummy...to the core. Its sauce drizzles on so smooth and creamy, it rivals the fanciest desserts. Ingredients:
1 cup chopped walnuts |
1 cup raisins |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
8 medium unpeeled tart apples |
1/2 cup water |
custard sauce: |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 cup milk |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
4 egg yolks, lightly beaten |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a blender, combine the walnuts, raisins and sugar; cover and process until blended. Stir in butter; set aside. Core apples and remove enough pulp to leave a 1-in. shell. Fill each apple with about 1/4 cup nut mixture.
2. Place in a greased shallow 3-qt. baking dish. Pour water around apples. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 50-60 minutes or until tender.
3. Meanwhile, for custard sauce, combine the sugar, flour and salt in a saucepan. Gradually stir in milk and cream until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot milk mixture into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Cool. Serve with warm apples. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 8 servings.
