Hazelnut Maple Rum Apples Recipes

BAKED APPLES WITH RUM

Steps:

• These are so satisfying and don't break the calorie bank if eaten without the ice cream. They can also be made without the rum. I have suggested rum raisin ice cream because I love the combination, but vanilla ice cream or even lemon sorbet would be just as delicious.
• For the glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine the dark brown sugar, rum, water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves. Stir to blend and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and reduce for 3 to 4 minutes to allow the sugar and other ingredients to blend together.
• Prepare the apples: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a baking dish large enough to hold all of the apples, arrange the apples in a single layer. Put a cinnamon stick inside the cavity made from coring each apple. Pour the glaze over the apples and top each with pieces of butter. Add the cider to the bottom of the dish and place it in the center of the oven.
• Cook the apples, basting them from time to time, 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy. Cook's Note: Smaller apples will take less time.
• Serve with scoops of ice cream or sour cream, if desired or just by themselves. They are also delicious leftover.

HAZELNUT CREPES WITH MAPLE FLAMBEED APPLES

Steps:

• Place all ingredients except the hazelnuts in the bowl or a food processor and process until smooth, fold in the hazelnuts. Pour the batter into a bowl, cover and let rest in the refrigerator at least 2 hours or overnight. Heat a 6inch nonstick crepe pan over medium to hot heat. Pour 2 tablespoons of the batter into the pan and quickly rotate the pan; spreading a thin layer of batter over the entire bottom. Cook the crepe for a couple of minutes until golden brown. Invert the crepe with the edge of a knife Cook the other side for about 30 seconds, Invert the crepe from the pan. Proceed to make the rest of the crepes in the same manner. Stack them on a plate as you make them.;

• Add six crepes to the pan and baste them with the sauce until the flames die down Add the cream and continue to cook for 1 minute or until the sauce has thickened.

BAKED APPLES (WITH CHOPPED HAZELNUTS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C ( 350°F ).
• Core the apples, using an apple corer. If you dont have a corer, use a sharp knife leaving a wider opening at the top than at the bottom. There is no need to remove the apple skins.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, butter, hazelnuts, raisins, cinnamon and zest.
• Stuff the apples firmly with the fruit mixture. Pack the apples as much as possible and then pile any leftover mix into mounds on top of the apples.
• Place the apples into a baking dish, casserole or cake tin. Use a dish that fits them as snugly as possible-this will stop them from falling over. I usually use a pyrex pie/tart baking dish.
• Spoon 1 teaspoon of honey/syrup over each apple. I usually just guess the amount for each apple and use a pouring top bottle of honey. Pour the water into the bottom of the dish.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are soft.
• Serve drizzled with any syrup remaining in the bottom of the dish.
• Serve with cream, ice-cream or custard if desired.
