Ingredients
- 15 g cornstarch
- 500 ml milk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 50 g sugar
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 4 apples
- 50 g chopped almond kernels
- lemons
- 2 tbsp cane sugar
- 30 g butter
- juice of one orange
- lemon balm (for garnish)
Instructions
- 1. Take a small bowl and add the cornstarch, a small splash of cold milk, and the cinnamon. Stir everything vigorously until you have a smooth paste without lumps.
- 2. Add the remaining milk, sugar, and vanilla sugar to a saucepan. Place the pan on the stove and bring the milk to a boil.
- 3. Pour the cinnamon-cornstarch paste into the hot milk. Stir well and let the sauce boil briefly once more to thicken.
- 4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the sauce cool down and stir it occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on the surface.
- 5. Rinse the apples under running water. Carefully cut off the top of the apples so that you get a small lid.
- 6. Take a melon baller and remove the core of the apples. Hollow out the apples slightly while doing this.
- 7. Wash the lemon and pat it dry with a cloth. Grate the zest finely or use a zester.
- 8. Take a bowl and mix the almonds, brown sugar, and lemon zest together.
- 9. Fill the almond-sugar mixture into the hollowed-out apples.
- 10. Take a heatproof baking dish. Brush the dish with a little butter so that the apples do not stick.
- 11. Place the filled apples into the prepared dish.
- 12. Place the previously cut-off apple lids back on the fruits.
- 13. Pour the orange juice into the baking dish around the apples.
- 14. Distribute small pieces of butter on top of the apples.
- 15. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees (Gas Level 3-4 or Fan 180 degrees).
- 16. Place the dish in the oven and bake the apples for about 20 minutes.
- 17. Take the warm baked apples out of the oven.
- 18. Serve the apples together with the cooled cinnamon sauce.
- 19. Garnish the dish with fresh lemon balm.
