Baked stuffed apples

Serves four – 83p per serving

4

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 25 minutes

YOU NEED:

• 4 apples, we recommend Cox’s when they are in season but Gala have a longer season and work perfectly for this recipe
• ½ lemon, juice only
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 100g goat’s cheese, leave rind on
• 2 tbsp red onion, peeled and finely diced
• 75g chunky, fresh breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp hazelnuts, roughly chopped

METHOD:

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut the top off four apples and use a spoon to scoop out the core, leaving the apple whole.
2. Take a small slice off the bottom of each apple so it will sit securely. Rub all the cut apple pieces with the juice of half a lemon. Prick the apples a few times with a fork then rub over 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil.
3. In a bowl, mix together the rinded goat’s cheese and red onion, then season.
4. Stuff this into each apple and stand them in a baking dish.
5. Place the chunky fresh breadcrumbs in a bowl with 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and the hazelnuts. Season and mix then press this over each apple.
6. Replace the apple tops and roast for 15 minutes with tops on, then 10 minutes with tops off so the breadcrumbs can brown. Serve with mixed salad.
