Baked toffee apples with blackberries

Ingredients

• 6 British dessert apples or 6 small Bramley cooking apples
• 6 tbsp chopped dried apricots
• 6 tbsp roughly chopped hazelnuts
• zest of 1 large lemon
• 4 rounded tbsp light muscovado sugar
• 3-4 tbsp apple juice
• 225g blackberries

For the sauce:

• 100g butter
• 175g light muscovado sugar
• 100ml double cream

1.            Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Core the apples or use a small sharp knife to make a nice wide hole in the middle of each apple. Put the apples in a shallow baking dish.

2.            Mix the apricots, nuts, most of the lemon zest and sugar. Fill each apple with the mixture – sprinkle any left over into the dish. Drizzle with the apple juice and bake for 20 minutes.

3.            Meanwhile, in a small pan bring the sauce ingredients to simmering point. Stir until smooth; set aside.

4.            Tip

Here's something a bit different for Bonfire Night, or just whenever you fancy a sweet treat. When cobnuts come into season, try them in place of the hazelnuts.
