Steps:
- Wash apples and remove cores without cutting through the bottoms of the apples. Slit the skin around the middle of each apple to prevent bursting while they bake.
- Place apples in baking dish. Stuff each apple with raisins, sprinkle with cinnamon and fill with apple juice. Pour remaining juice in the bottom of the baking dish. Bake in a preheated 400ยบ oven for 30 minutes.
- TO PREPARE THE CASHEW CREAM: Grind nuts in a blender until pulverized. With the machine running, add the maple syrup, vanilla, and a tablespoon of water. Add more water a little at a time until you have the consistency you desire. Top baked apples with cream to serve.
BAKED APPLES WITH CARAMEL SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Core the apples. Using a paring knife, score a ring around the midriff of each apple, just cutting through the skin to prevent the apples from bursting during baking. Stuff the apples with the figs and almonds. Set on a baking sheet, and bake until puffed up and soft all the way through, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the sugar in a saucepan with a spoonful of water, and boil to a golden caramel, about 5 minutes, depending on how much water you've added. Do not stir the sugar with a spoon, gently swirl the saucepan over the heat until the desired color. You want a nice rich caramel color, but don't let it get too dark.
- Serve the baked apples warm from the oven with the sauce poured over and with a generous slump of cinnamon whipped cream or creme fraiche on the side.
