OVEN-BAKED COCONUT APPLES
Ugnsbakade kokosäpplen

So easy to make and so lovely!

6 servings

3 large red apples of your choice

2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons sugar

Coconut topping:

1 egg
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 ¼ cups grated coconut
1 ¾ oz coarsely chopped walnuts
1 ¾ to 2½ oz melted butter or margarine

Caramel sauce:

1/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup light-colored treacle/molasses
¼ cup sugar
2½ oz butter or margarine

Heat the oven to 350F.

Wash and core the apples, but not all the way through. Make the hole a little bigger, so that some of the filling gets down inside the apples. Place the apples in a greased, oven-proof dish. Melt the fat and brush over the holes, sprinkle with sugar and bake in the middle of the oven for about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the coconut topping. Beat egg and sugar until fluffy. Mix flour, grated coconut, chopped walnuts and melted fat in another bowl and stir the two mixtures together. Leave to expand for about 10 minutes.

Divide the topping inside and on top of the apples and continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes until the topping becomes nicely golden brown.

Pour the ingredients for the caramel sauce in a saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer while stirring until the sauce thickens and gets a nice, light brown colour.

Enjoy!
