  • hazelnut stuffing

    In a small bowl combine 70g / 2.5 oz of melted butter with lemon juice and calvados, or any other brandy. In a separate small bowl combine the brown sugar, ground hazelnuts, pinch of salt, cinnamon powder, cloves powder, ginger powder and nutmeg powder. Add the melted butter mixture and cooked apple cubes. Stir well.

  • baking and serve

    Rinse and dry your apples. Use a paring knife to cut out the core of the apples, creating a hole that’s about 5 cm / 2 inches wide. Be careful not to cut through the bottom of the apples. Place the apples in a baking dish. Stuff the hazelnut mixture into the apples, place in the oven and bake for about 15 - 25 minutes or until the apples are tender. Let cool slightly, then serve warm with vanilla ice cream and sprinkle of walnut crocant.
