Baked Apple Tosca

Apple season is here and we got a bag full of freshly picked ones. It was difficult to choose which recipe to do first but when I saw the one for Baked Apple Tosca I just had to try it! It was a first for me but definitely not a last...



Ingredients (2 people):
4 small (or 2 big) firm apples
20 g butter, room temperature
1 dl almond slices
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp potato flour (or maizena)
Salt

1. Set on the oven to 175 ºC. Cut the apples in halves and remove the core with a small spoon. Lay the apple halves, cut side up, on a slightly buttered oven tray. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 10 min. (or 15 min. if you use big apples).

2. Mix butter, almond slices, sugar, honey, flour and a pinch of salt.

3. Remove the apple halves from the oven and set the oven to 225 ºC.

4. Spread the almond mixture in the center and on top of the apples. Bake in the center of the oven for 15 min. or until the tops get golden.

5. Allow to cool down a few minutes and serve with vanilla ice cream.
