"This is a slight adaptation of a wonderful recipe from the chef Simon Rimmer. Baked apples are a lovely desert in the chilly weather, but the addition of exotic fruit and brandy lends them a bit of summer! Quantities are for 2 and prep time does not include soaking the fruit."

I find cooking very relaxing and love to experiment. My food hero is Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall; the idea of growing your own veg and rearing your own animals in a free-range, organic way is very appealing. When not cooking I work from home for a tech company in Finland, love animals, old cars, travel and good restaurants! How I rate recipes: 5 * Recipe worked perfectly, no substitutes needed and family raved about it. 4 * Recipe worked well, a few substitutes were made to suit taste. Family loved it. 3 * Recipe worked fairly well, a few changes to technique or substitutions were needed. Family liked it. 2 * Recipe didn't work particularly well. It was edible but wouldn't cook again. 1* Recipe didn't work at all. It wasn't edible and we wouldn't cook again.
