Roasted Apples With Fig & Hazelnut Stuffing

"An interesting variation on baked or roasted apples. I have not made this yet but I am posting it for safekeeping, and to make when the weather is cooler. I found this in a July 2002 issue of the Australian 'Family Circle'. The cooking time below does not include the 10 minutes standing time recommended in step 6."

  1. Wow, super fancy looking dish. The brown sugar and butter made for this great sauce that covered the apples. I served this with vanilla bean ice cream and everyone loved it. A new fancy pants looking dish that takes hardly any work at all. Made and reviewed for 123 Hit Wonders Tag - Thanks! :)
     
  2. I love this dish! If anything I wish I had a larger apple corer so I can stuff more off the fig mixture in there! I let it overflow on the top and bottom. The sauce coated the outside of the apple like candy! Another dish that is very easy to make but is sure to impress.
     
  3. This was Heaven! Served with Oregon's Tillamook brand real vanilla ice cream. A delightful combination of flavors. Keep posting those good recipes! PS I used dried figs that are rolled in coconut!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority! <br> <br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
