i cook apples with a little apple juice and cinnamon and nutmeg for DD as a pudding, really quick and SO tasty. I dod it with eating apples and is actually a little sweet so maybe with cooking apples and a splash of honey or maple syrup?
These recipes look good, and can be adapted to be even healthier...anyway...
Baked apples with spiced honey
A slightly more elaborate variation, with a lovely fruity sauce.
Serves 4 Preheat the oven to 350F/180C/gas 4. Put 300ml (1 ¼ cups) apple juice, 4 tbsp dark honey, 1 cinnamon stick, 4 cloves and 1 split cardamom pod into a small pan, bring to the boil, stir and simmer for 2 minutes. Peel, halve and core 4 large eating apples, place cut side uppermost in an ovenproof dish and pour over the syrup. Bake for about 30 minutes or until fruit is soft. Serve with natural yogurt.
Classic baked apple
Adults generally love these just as they are. They?re quite large for children, who may find the apple pulp a little sharp. I usually give children half an apple each (bake whole and cut in half to eat) and serve with custard.
Serves 4 Use Bramley cooking apples and choose them all the same size. Heat oven to 350F/180C/gas 4. Wash apples, and remove the core with a corer. Make sure all the core has gone ? you might have to cut out any hard or pippy bits that are left with a small knife. Score a line around the ?waist? of each apple with the point of a knife. For 4 apples, mix together 2 tbsp soft brown sugar, ½ tsp ground cinnamon, some sultanas and a few chopped walnuts if you have them ? they add a very pleasant crunch. Stand apples in small ovenproof dish, pour a little water around them. You can drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over the tops if you wish. Stand the dish on baking tray just in case apples burst, and bake for 25-30 mins.
