Baked apples are taken to a whole new level with this version.   

Serves 4-6  

 

Ingredients 
3-4 large apples, halved through waist, cored  
½ cup brown sugar, firmly packed   
25g butter, melted  
3 tbsps. water   
1 tsp sea salt   
½ cup walnuts  
To serve: cream, sour cream, or crème fraiche   

  

Method 
Preheat oven to 180C.   
In an oven dish, place sugar, butter, water, and salt. Stir to mix.   
Set apples in the dish, cut side up. Scatter walnuts over and around. Cover tightly with foil.  
Bake for 20 minutes, then remove foil and baste apples with syrup.  
Cook for a further 20-30 minutes uncovered until apples are soft and the caramel lovely and syrupy. If you need to cook a bit longer, do, but only until apples are soft, not mushy.   
While still hot, dollop on some cream, sour cream, or crème fraiche, which offsets the sweetness beautifully, even stirring some into the syrup.
