Ingredients
- 4 apples, we recommend Cox's apples when they're in-season, however Gala apples have a longer season and work perfectly for this recipe
- 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp of hazelnuts, roughly chopped
- 75 g of chunky fresh breadcrumbs
- 0.5 lemon, juice only
- 2 tbsp of red onion, peeled and finely diced
- 100 g of goat's cheese, leave the rind on
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/Gas 4. Cut the top off 4 apples and use a spoon to scoop out the core, leaving the apple whole.Step 2
Take a small slice off the bottom of each apple so it will sit securely. Rub all the cut apple pieces with the juice of half a lemon. Prick the apples a few times with a fork then rub over 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil.Step 3
In a bowl, mix together the rinded goat’s cheese and red onion and season. Stuff this into each apple and stand them in a baking dish.Step 4
Place the chunky fresh breadcrumbs in a bowl with 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and the hazelnuts. Season and mix then press this over each apple.Step 5
Replace the apple tops and roast for 25 mins until golden. After 15 mins, take the tops off so the breadcrumbs can brown. Serve with mixed salad.
