Ingredients

50g natural dried breadcrumbs
8 dried apricots roughly chopped
75g cinnamon sugar (see below)
75g butter chopped
zest and juice 1 orange
6 large Bramley apples
custard or vanilla ice cream, to serve

Method

Set your oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Combine the breadcrumbs, chopped apricots, cinnamon sugar, chopped butter and orange zest in a bowl.
Core each apple using an apple corer. Score a line through the skin around the middle of each apple to prevent them from bursting.
Fill the cavity of each apple with the prepared mixture. Arrange the apples closely in an ovenproof dish. Pour the orange juice mixed with 150ml water around the apples. Roast for 40-50 mins until the apples are tender, browned and holding their form. Serve with the reduced cooking juices and your choice of custard or ice cream.
