Our preferred filling per apple:
1 tablespoon marzipan, 1 tablespoon jam, 1 tablespoon crushed almonds – mixed a little. Put some grounded cinnamon on top. Those you prefer neat and pretty can give the apple an almond hat – a flat circle on top of the apple.
Put your apples in the ovenware and into the oven – 20mins at 150 degree Celsius.
You can as well use your tiled stove to bake your apples, they will need a little more time.
Serve the baked apples with some milk or vanilla sauce (for those who can't eat milk – you can use soya milk or vanilla sauce with soya as well).
For vanilla sauce we use vanilla pudding and add the double amount of milk. Use the instructions on the package. You can pour the vanilla sauce on top of the apples when still warm. Those who are not keen on vanilla sauce can use whipped cream with honey as topping. This topping will melt neatly on the baked apples and you can prepare it during the afternoon. Another quick topping would be vanilla ice.
We love to serve baked apples during celebrations before Christmas. Especially when there are kids we love to prepare baked apples together. It is not only great fun when everyone can prepare his or her special filling for the apple, it is also a great possibility to "bridge time", when waiting for Nikolaus to come or when there is still time before the performance at the nativity set starts.
We core the apples, prepare all kinds of fillings in little bowls and many spoons. There are kids wo don't like raisins they might want to use only jam. And you can prepare baked apples without marzipan, maybe the classy way with sugar and cinnamon only or use a spoonfull of honey.
To be able to tell which apple belongs to which kid we use several small ovenware and mark some apples with a toothpick.
Adults can use raisins in rum or add some Calvados or Cointreau.
Baked Apples (in German: Brataple) is a great desert for mountain chalets, you might want to give one of the other Mountain Cabin recipes our Hüttengaudi recipes a try like cheese dumping (Kasnockn), Grenadiermarsch or Cheese Fondue.
If you want to try out more Christmas recipes, bake some lemony angel wings biscuits and for adults some spiced hot wine - the so called Glühwein.
