What you need
apple, I like using Gala or other apples that are not too sweet, but you can use any apples you like.
oz almond flour
oz butter, melted
oz sugar
tsp ground cinnamon
oz marzipan, a dough made from almonds found in the baking isle at your grocery store
fl oz white wine, can instead use a fruit liqueur, brandy or apple juice
tbsp lemon juice
vanilla ice cream, for serving, optional but highly recommended
Instructions
0 Preheat oven to 390℉ (200℃). 1 Add the almond flour to a dry non-stick pan and roast until starting to turn a golden color. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool. 2 Wash the apples, cut off the top "lid," then carefully remove the core and cut out a generous opening. Place in individual oven-safe dishes or in one larger casserole dish. 3 Divide the marzipan into 4 portions (20 g each) and press down to the bottom of the holes. 4 Combine butter, sugar, cinnamon and roasted almond flour and distribute evenly between the 4 apples over the marzipan paste. 5 In the same pan you used to roast the almond flour, add the wine and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then evenly pour over each apple. 6 Bake for 25 minutes without the apple lids, then add the lids on top each apple and bake for an additional 10 minutes. 7 Serve apples in individual casserole dishes or on a plate, pouring the juices on the bottom of the casserole dish over the apple before serving. Enjoy on their own or with some vanilla ice cream. Guten Appetit!View original recipe
