Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

115g butter , at room temperature
75g light brown soft sugar
75ml maple syrup (the darkest you can find)
1 large egg , at room temperature, lightly beaten
225g plain flour , sifted
1½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp baking powder
100g pecans , chopped
225g apple purée
125g butter
290g golden icing sugar
4 tbsp dark maple syrup
30g pecans
1 tbsp soft light brown sugar

Steps:

  • To make the apple purée, cook 250g peeled and chopped cooking apples with a splash of water in a pan with a lid until soft for about 10 mins. Purée with a hand blender or in the small bowl of a food processor.
  • Butter and line the base of a 20cm springform cake tin with parchment. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix the maple syrup and egg together and gradually add them. Sift the flour with the bicarb and baking powder. Add a good pinch of salt and the nuts. With a large metal spoon, fold the flour into the butter and sugar, alternating with the apple purée. Scrape the batter into the prepared tin. Bake for 40 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool in the tin, then turn out onto a rack and peel off the baking parchment.
  • To make the buttercream, beat the butter until soft, then add the icing sugar and beat until smooth. Gradually add the maple syrup, beating as you do so. Slice the cooled cake in half then, using a spatula, spread half of the icing over the first layer. Add the other layer on top, then top with the rest of the buttercream. Pulse the pecans in a food processor with the brown sugar (or finely chop and mix). You should end up with a coarse mixture. Scatter this over the top of the cake.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large Golden Delicious apples (about 3 1/2 pounds)
2/3 cup plus 6 tablespoons coarsely chopped pecans
1/3 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 tablespoons peach or apricot preserves
1 cup unfiltered apple juice or cider
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Core apples. Peel top third of each apple. Using small sharp knife, cut 1/4-inch-deep line all around each where peel and flesh meet. Using small sharp knife, cut about 1 1/4-inch-wide, 1-inch-deep hollow in top of each apple. Cut off thin slice from bottom of each to allow apples to stand flat. Place apples in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish.
  • Finely chop 2/3 cup pecans, raisins and coconut in processor. Transfer to small bowl. Mix in maple syrup, lemon peel, cinnamon and nutmeg. Divide filling equally among hollows in apples.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon preserves over top of each apple and into hollows. Press 1 tablespoon chopped pecans atop each.
  • Combine apple juice and butter in small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until butter melts. Pour into dish around apples. Cover dish loosely with foil. Bake apples 30 minutes. Remove foil; bake until apples are tender, basting with juices every 10 minutes, about 35 minutes longer. Serve apples warm with pan juices.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, tart apples that will hold their shape during baking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor. You can substitute honey or agave nectar, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • If you don't have pecan halves, you can use chopped walnuts or almonds.
  • If you want a crispier topping, sprinkle the apples with a mixture of brown sugar and oats before baking.
  • Serve the baked apples warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Maple pecan baked apples are a delicious and easy dessert that can be enjoyed all year round. They are perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dessert that will impress your family and friends.
