Baked Apples Stuffed With Cranberries and Almonds image

Serve these tender apples with a sweet-tart filling alongside roasted turkey or pork, a delicious pairing with the apples' hint of cardamom - though you could substitute cinnamon. They make a great stuffing alternative for those who don't eat wheat or gluten. They're also tasty for breakfast, snack or dessert -- perhaps with whipped cream.

Time 1h

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 granny smith apples
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen and thawed)
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
6 dates, pitted and chopped
1 orange, juice and zest of
2 tablespoons roasted almonds, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut 1/2 inch off the top of the apples and reserve tops. Use a paring knife or spoon to hollow out the apples, leaving about a 1/2-inch thick wall and base. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add cranberries, honey, cardamom, dates and orange juice and zest and cook until the cranberries begin to collapse and liquid thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in almonds.
  • Spoon cranberry mixture into apples then replace the apple tops. Put into a small baking dish filled with 1/4 inch water, cover with foil and bake until tender, 15 to 30 minutes (depending on apples).
  • Uncover, and carefully pour off the water and continue baking until very tender and golden, 10 to 15 minutes more.
