An apple a day keeps the doctor away

I’m not a big fan of baked apples but today I’ll make an exception…

Baked apples with mascarpone, Port wine, honey and hazelnuts

4 Egremont Russet apples
1 tbsp Port wine
200 g mascarpone
20 g honey
50 g chopped hazelnuts
Cinnamon and star anise

Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC.
Mix together wine, mascarpone, cinnamon and star anise.
Peel the apple and cut in thick slices.
In a baking dish put the apple slices with the mascarpone mixture between them.
Top with the remaining mixture and honey.
Sprinkle with the hazelnuts.
Bake for 30-40 minutes.
