Hello my dears!
First: I wish you all a happy new year! *~ ^.^
It was very stressy, again, but I hope I'll find the time to make something extravagant soon!
So here is my 'not so special' - Special. These are just apples, but really delicious and quite rich... :) And I tried to make some nice photos, but... the apples just don't look so great. I did the best I could, and maybe you'll try these, because they are easy and tasty!
Here is what you need for 6 people:
6 large apples à ca 160g
80g butter
80g sugar
80-120g ground nuts (It depends on the size and you can use whatever you want. I used ground hazelnuts and almonds.)
3 cinnamon sticks
5 star anise
runny honey :)
First, you cut the cores out of the apples and melt the butter. (And wash the apples before you core them :)!)
Mix together the sugar the the ground nuts on a flat plate. Place the melted butter on an other flat plate.
Roll the apples in the butter and then in the sugar-nuts mixture and place them in a baking dish.
Break the cinnamon sticks into two halves and place one half in each apple. Sprinkle the star anise on top and then pour honey over all. (Well, don't use too much honey, just make about two or three circles on each apple.)
Bake them for 45-50 minutes on 200°C. You can serve them with vanilla ice cream ^.^ !
With best regards,
Francine
