The German Christmas Dish "Bratäpfel" (Baked Apples)

First of all, here is what you'll need:
4 Apples
1 tbsp Sugar
1 tbsp Vanilla Sugar
1 tbsp Butter
0.5 ts Cinamon
50g Nuts
50g Dried Fruits
1 ts Honey
Vanilla sauce

Okay. The first thing you will need to do is preheat the oven to 180°C.
Now, remove the core of the apple. Feel free to cut it out quite generously as this is the hole you will later be filling with your other ingredients.

 

 

I have that handy device which is meant just for carving apples, however this can be done using a knife too (even though that is definitely more complicated!) 

The next step is to prepare the nut and fruit mixture to fill the apples. This is done by dumping all the ingredients (except for the vanilla sauce into a bowl).

Melt the butter into the mixture and make sure all the ingredients are blended together well.

The next step is to fill the four apples with the fruit-nut mixture.

I added an extra bit of honey on top of it all. Before it all goes into the oven for 20 minutes at 180°C.

 And once those 20 minutes are over you add a little vanilla sauce and you're done!

Enjoy!
