Adam Liaw’s baked cinnamon apples
These buttery baked apples are comfort food made simple.
Ingredients
6 red apples (gala or pink lady)
30g butter, softened
½ cup soft brown sugar
½ tsp flake salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon, plus extra for dusting
vanilla ice-cream, to serve
Method
Step 1
Heat your oven to 180C fan-forced (200C conventional). Cut the tops off the apples about ¾ of the way up the fruit and flatten the base very slightly so that each apple stands upright. Using an apple corer or melon baller scoop the core from the fruit, leaving about 1cm in the base so that the channel doesn’t go all the way through. Place the apples in a baking dish just large enough to hold them.
Step 2
Finely chop the flesh from the removed tops and discard the core and stem. Mix the chopped apple with the butter, sugar, salt and cinnamon and pack the mixture into the cavity of the apple. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then a further 20 minutes uncovered, until the apples are soft.
Step 3
Serve the apples topped with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream and dusted with a little extra cinnamon.
