Method
- Heat the oven to 180 °C. Wash the apples and core them with an apple corer or small knife, without piercing the bottom.
- With the tip of a knife, score the skin shallowly around the middle of each apple so it does not burst.
- Place the apples in an oven dish. Fill each with the brown sugar and cinnamon and plug the opening with a piece of butter.
- Pour over the port wine and add 50 ml of water to the bottom of the dish.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, basting halfway with the juices, until soft with wrinkled skins. Serve warm with the syrup.
Shopping tip
Reinette apples are the classic for baking (tart, collapsing to purée inside); Golden or Royal Gala also work, sweeter and firmer. Without port, use 80 ml of orange juice.
