Oven-Baked Apples with Caramel Cream - Ugnsbakade äpplen med karamellgrädde

OVEN-BAKED APPLES WITH
CARAMEL CREAM
Ugnsbakade äpplen med karamellgrädde

Serves 4

For this recipe, the apples are best if you make them the same day they will be served.

4 apples
1 oz almond paste
1 oz almonds
1 egg white
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream

Core the apples but keep them whole. Chop the almonds and mix with grated almond paste and one egg white to a batter. Melt the sugar in a frying pan, but make sure it doesn't burn. Brown the apples in the caramel for a few minutes, then put them with the holes pointing up and press the almond mixture into the holes. Pour over the cream and put in the oven at 400F for 10 - 15 minutes. Check so that the apples don't turn mushy - when they're ready, they look a little "blown up", and that's exactly what they're supposed to look like. The skin starts to burst and the apple gets slightly bigger.

Serve one apple per person with the caramel cream from the frying pan on top. These apples are delicious with vanilla ice cream. 

Enjoy!
