Baked apple with raisins and fromage frais

Method

• step 1

  Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4. Wash the apples and remove the cores to 1/2 inch of the bottom of the apples.

• step 2

  In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and raisins. Place the apples in a baking dish and stuff each apple with the mixture. Top with a dot of butter and add the boiling water to the baking dish.

• step 3

  Bake for 30-40 minutes then remove from the oven, baste the apples with the pan juices and scoop the insides out into a bowl. Top with fromage frais. Chop before serving.

• step 4

  *It's much easier to hollow out the apples with an apple corer, but if using a knife, cut around the core and then hollow out with a teaspoon.
