HALLOWEEN THEMED BAKED APPLES

Carved into adorable mini pumpkins and filled with a sweet, autumn-inspired filling, these baked apples are as delightful to look at as they are to eat. With notes of maple syrup, cinnamon and melted butter in every bite, they are the perfect recipe for cosy mornings and seasonal celebrations.

Serves: 3

INGREDIENTS

• 3 large apples (e.g. Pink Lady)
• 150g Turtle Date, Fig & Apricot Porridge
• 3 tsp of cinnamon
• 2 tbsp of maple syrup
• 2 tbsp of melted butter
• A pinch of salt

HOW TO MAKE YOUR BAKED APPLES

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
2. Core the apples, while ensuring that the bottoms are kept intact. Finely chop the scooped-out apple flesh into small pieces.
3. Prepare the filling. Mix 150g of Turtle Date, Fig & Apricot Porridge with the chopped apple, cinnamon, maple syrup, and melted butter into the porridge. Mix well.
4. Fill the apples. Gently pour the filling into the scooped out apples.
5. Bake the apples. Let the apples bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes until they are tender and the filling is golden brown. Note that the baking time might vary depending on the size and the variety of the apples.
6. Serve the apples. Drizzle maple syrup over the apples. Serve warm.

Make it your own: To add an extra autumny touch to the apples, try mixing in 1 tbsp of cardamom into the filling.
