Classic Baked Apple
Healthy, because
Even smarter
The homemade marzipan from the almonds provides valuable, bone-strengthening calcium and blood-forming iron. Together with the nut mixture, they are important suppliers of vegetable proteins. Dietary fibres that promote digestion are found in the apples, especially in and under the skin.
The apples can also be filled with other ingredients as desired - cashews and dried cranberries give the oven-baked delicacies a completely different note.
Ingredients
- For the baked apples
- 4 sour Apple
- 80 grams Marzipan
- 100 grams mixed Nut (Almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts)
- 2 Tbsps raisins
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 2 Tbsps honey
- soft butter (for the baking dish)
- 20 grams butter
- 120 milliliters Apple juice
- For the custard
- 250 milliliters milk
- 1 Vanilla bean
- 3 Tbsps sugar
- 1 tsp Starch
- 2 egg yolks
Preparation steps
Preheat the oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F). Rinse the apples, dry them, cut them in half horizontally and cut out the cores. For the filling, place the marzipan in a bowl and mash finely with a fork. Chop the nuts and raisins and add to the marzipan. Stir in the cinnamon and honey. Place the apples in a buttered baking dish and fill with the nut marzipan mixture. If anything is left over, distribute it around the apples. Distribute the butter in small pieces around the apples and bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. After about 20 minutes, add the apple juice and a little water.
For the custard: Set aside 3-4 tablespoons of milk. Boil the remaining milk with the slit vanilla pod and the sugar, then remove from the heat. Mix the cornstarch with the reserved milk and egg yolks until smooth. Mix into the vanilla milk, return to the heat and stir (do not boil) until the mixture has a creamy sauce consistency.
Arrange the baked apples and the extra nut marzipan mixture on deep plates, top with the custard and serve.
