Here's a recipe my mom always use to make when I was little, easy to make and very delicious. I hope you enjoy it.:lips:

Ingredients:

☆ 150cc fresh cream
☆ 3 1/2 tbsp beet- sugar
☆ 1/2 tsp brandy

Direction:

1. Cut the apple into half and take off the core. Wrap in aluminum foil.

2. Place in oven preheat 200℃, and cook for about 35 min.

3. Put the fresh cream in a bowl, add the beet-sugar and brandy, and whip until foamy.

4. When baked the apple, place in a dish, and garnish with whipped cream and maple syrup.

A very interestng recipe, Naoko-san. Thank you.

Here in the west we bake apples too, but with one major difference. That is, we core the entire apple and fill the hole with sugar, spices, and sometimes dried fruit. They mix with the apples juices as it cooks and create a syrup.

My own technique, learned from my grandmother, is to put several into a tight-fitting casserole and making a foil-lid -- rather than baking each apple separately. Then, something Grandma didn't do, I put a little sweetened, dark, aged rum on the bottom of the pan to make the syrup that much better. (I use Brugal, but you could use Flor de Cana, or anything good or even Captain Morgan. On the other hand, you'd do better with a cognac type brandy than a straight, mixing rum like a basic Bacardi -- know your booze).

Whipped cream in your mom's style, and chantilly cream are wonderful finishes. Still, iit's hard to beat a good vanilla ice cream, or, better yet, creme anglaise.

Sounds lovely Naoko. I like the maple syrup with the cream. We always do ours re. BDL's recipe. Plenty of raisins mixed with cinnamon and nutmeg and brown sugar. It's crammed into the space where the core was. Dont forget to make a couple of slits in the apples tho. We use Bramleys (cooking apples) and they will split if you dont give them a vent

One thing guarenteed to thrill with a baked apple is a baked egg custard. Basic recipe, but dont put in a bain marie. Instead butter the dish really well and bake dry. The kids always enjoy scraping the crusted on bits on the tin...That includes me

Ditto how my lot prefer baked apples... I sometimes pack the cored space with home-made mincemeat.
