Baked Apples with Dulce de Leche

Here is a great dessert to serve all Fall and Winter long. A good splash of applejack over the apples would not be a bad idea. Serve these on their own or with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients:

4 large tart apples
8 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
4 tablespoons San Ignacio Dulce de Leche
1 tablespoon golden raisins, chopped
1 tablespoon walnuts, chopped
¾ cup apple cider, hot

Preparation:

Time: 1 Hour

Yield: 4 Servings

Preheat the oven to 350°F
Cream together the butter and dulce de leche then stir in the raisins and nuts.
Slice the top with the stem off the apples and reserve. Use a melon baler (scoop Parisienne) to core the apples to ½” of the bottoms. Fill the hollowed-out centers with the butter/honey mixture.
Butter an 8’ x 8” baking dish.
Put the apples into the dish and pour over the cider. Put the tops back on the apples. Cover. Bake 45 -60 minutes until tender. Baste once or twice with the juices in the dish.
