Christmas apples with 12 flavours
Baked apples filled with dried fruit, marzipan and spices for a fragrant Christmas dessert.

Preparation
Roughly chop the dried fruit with the candied orange peel (SuperSonic Chopper Extra).
Remove the blades, add the Calvados, cinnamon, vanilla and honey, then mix (KPT silicone spatula thin).
Wash and core the apples. Cut the marzipan into 6 pieces and use one to plug the bottom of each apple.
Place the apples in the buttered Ultra Pro 3,5 l (Easylogics basting brush pro) and fill them with the dried fruit mixture.
Sprinkle with sugar, cover and bake for about 30 minutes in an oven preheated to gas mark 7 or 210°C. Leave to cool and refrigerate in a serving dish.
Serve at room temperature with vanilla ice cream.
Variation: if using Golden Delicious apples, extend the cooking time by about 10 minutes.
